In this paper, by means of the computation of fixed point index, we obtain the existence of positive solutions for four-point boundary value problem involving the \(p(t)\)-Laplacian $$\begin{aligned}&(\phi (t,u'(t)))'+ f(t,u(t))=0,\quad t\in (0,1), \\&u'(0)=\alpha u'(\xi ),\quad u(1)=\beta u(\eta ), \end{aligned}$$where \(\phi (t,x)=|x|^{p(t)-2} \ x,\ p\in C([0,1],(1,+\infty )),\ \alpha ,\beta ,\xi ,\eta \in (0,1),\ \xi >\eta ,\ p(0)=p(\xi ),\ f\in C([0,1]\times [0,+\infty ),[0,+\infty ))\).
