Hi there.
Im pretty new to PHP and have made a terrible mistake,
Im getting this message Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING ......functions.php on line 2

the site workd fine but failed once Ive tried to add a sidebar,
Ive tried to replace the function.php code Ive just eddited with the original one i got from the theme file, and got that message

at the moment I have no access to my site at all, I only get the above message and am copletly lost.

heres the functions.php file currently used:

<?php

$artThemeSettings = array(
'menu.showSubmenus' => true,
'menu.homeCaption' => "Home",
'menu.showHome' => true,
'menu.topItemBegin' => "",
'menu.topItemEnd' => ""
);

and so on......

any thoughs?

what happens if I delete all theme files? would I be able to go back to my dashboard and load a new theme?

Id be very greatfull for some help here, as I said, Im clueless at this point.

thank

php

You did not post the code where this syntax error is actually, post the functions.php.
Do you have more than one php file with the same name as functions.php in different directories

I dont understand how come it shows an error when previously it worked fine...

at the moment I have no access to my domain at all, cant change theme through wordpress .

If I cant find resolution to this mess, how can I change the theme through the server (godaddy)?

thanks for your help
