Functions.php Error From Hell

Hi. I tried to do a very easy hack. change the name "Guest". Now I can't see the individual threads and I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `']'' in /home/diva/public_html/test/admin/functions.php(281) : eval()'d code on line 31

Here's the weird part. I tried putting back the original functions.php and even a new one... I still get that error. Any ideas?

[Admin]

I mean line 281 of functions.php.

(And don't tattoo my name on your arse! )

[Diva]

What if I already did?

Here's line 271 - 284. Line 281 is a"}"

// do ip addresses
if ($post[ip]!="") {
if ($logip==2) {
eval("\$post[iplogged] .= \"".gettemplate("postbit_ip_show")."\";");
}
if ($logip==1) {
eval("\$post[iplogged] .= \"".gettemplate("postbit_ip_hidden")."\";");
}
if ($logip==0) {
$post[iplogged]="";
}
} else {
$post[iplogged]="";
}

[Admin]

That can't be. Line 281 must contain a eval() call.

Okay. Sigh... I was told it was the birthday hack, so I removed the php, postbit and installed yet another fresh copy of vb functions.php. No dice. Now it gives me an error about not finding the birthday.php. I even updated all the counters, etc...

Any suggestions? I really liked that hack, too. :/

The error is not in the files, it's in one of your templates (the one that is used in line 281, which is why that line MUST contain a eval() call, or you're not talking in the right file).
