Error in functions.php

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DIV_EQUAL in /forum/includes/functions.php on line 795


I haven't edited or messed with functions.php (ever) and I haven't installed/edited any modifications in weeks.

I made a small edit (to the super admin list) in config.php, but then I got this error in functions.php...

Anyone know what's causing it or how to fix it?

I would re-check the edit you made to your config.php file if this didn't start happening until you edited that file. You may be missing a tag or added an extra one. I ran something similar a couple years ago

What is on (and around) line 795 of your functions.php page?

[BlueNinjaGo]

I changed the config file back as soon as i noticed the error... the problem is still there....

And what's the easiest way to find line 795? (besides hitting down 795 times)

[HMBeaty]

Edit the file in Notepad
- Turn off word wrap
- Turn on status bar

Should show the line and column in the lower right corner

Edit: This is the line 795

return preg_match('#^[a-z0-9.!?#$%&?'*+-/=?^_`{|}‾]+@([0-9.]+|([^?s?'"<>@,;]+?.+[a-z]{2,6}))$#si', $email);

Was your change in the config file regarding emails?

Do you get that error in regards to any particular user? I'd check their email since it seems the problem is in regards to an email.

[BlueNinjaGo]

I only added a user ID to the super admin list in config file... and i changed it back to see if it'd resolve the errors...

I haven't edited any other files or installed/uninstalled/changed any other mods or anything in weeks

[Lynne]

OK, but do you know if you are getting that error regarding a specific user or just any user?

I'm getting the error when i go to my site at all... any url... every page...
