[RESOLVED] Problem with PHP

Mark_Collier

I receive this error after I edited the options.php of my WordPress blog:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ')' in /home2/backlin2/public_html/theopenalgorithm/wp-content/themes/deep-blue/options/options.php on line 112

The page's code is attached in a .txt file.

Thanks for your help

This means, that at some point, you left a : symbol right before (...
for example, there must be
$data=addslashes("name:Raint");
but you wrote
$data=addslashes("name:Raint"🙂;

Thanks very much for your help Raint but I am still getting the error message, even when you try and access the homepage (theopenalgorithm.com).

I did a search of the document for 🙂 and : ) and it couldn't find any matches, what should I do?

Thanks

line is
"std" => $temp_dir."/images/logo.png"

try adding a empty row before and after this line
...
depending on line number changes on next php request, you can guess if error is really there...

Thanks Raint but I can't even access my admin, no matter what page I go to on my blog it shows the same error, what should I do?

i suggest you change your theme while you sort this problem out, then maybe try to restore options.php from where you downloaded it.

i know you can't access your wp-admin panel but you can change your theme using phpmyadmin if you have it installed on your server by following the instructions on the following page:

http://wordpress.shadowlantern.com/2009/11/change-wordpress-theme-in-phpmyadmin/

if you don't have php then you can execute the queyr via php file or anyhow you want.

btw you can download your theme from this link, find options.php inside options directory so now you can restore options.php to its original state

here is your theme

Thank you very much the problem is fixed and I have changed theme to one that will hopefully be more reliable.

Thanks
