don't you just hate parse errors?

okay, i'm dumb. we already know that.

every time i try to edit the functions.php file i get this silly parse error...no matter what i am trying to do...Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/elena/public_html/board/admin/functions.php on line 835

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: vbdate() in /home/elena/public_html/board/admin/sessions.php on line 400can anyone give me a clue as to what i can look for? all i am doing is pasting code text into the file, nice and clean, very simple. (so i thought...hahaha)....

any advice would be appreciated...

You didn't create a string properly by either not closing the quotes properly or not escaping some quotes.

i cannot see how that is possible since it is a cut and paste unless there is something wrong with the code (which i doubt, since i make the lamest errors...ha)...(and actually i think i know what dunder-headed thing i did on this one...maybe i should think a little while longer before i panic and post threads for help...you think?)

i am going to wait to fix this when i upgrade to 2.3.0 (with a miracle i will actually manage that...)...

thank you for your patience filburt...it is nice that you are always around...

:)
