I need help...

I added the coding to global.php and to the navbar template. Now when I try to access my Admin CP, I get this error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '(' in /home/reality/public_html/admincp/global.php on line 30

I can't find the problem. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

post the line 30 of global.php to see if there's any mistake

I'm pretty new to all of this stuff... I think this is line 30 (the one in bold):

// identify where we are
define('VB_AREA', 'Forum');

// ################################################## ###########################
// Start initialisation
require_once('./includes/init.php');

// ################################################## ###########################
// Start functions
if (DB_QUERIES)
{
// start functions parse timer
echo "Parsing functions.php\n";
$pageendtime = microtime();
$starttime = explode(' ', $pagestarttime);
$endtime = explode(' ', $pageendtime);
$beforetime = $endtime[0] - $starttime[0] + $endtime[1] - $starttime[1];
'./includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php')echo "Time before: $beforetime\n";
if (function_exists('memory_get_usage'))
{
echo "Memory Before: " . number_format((memory_get_usage() / 1024)) . 'KB' . " \n";
}
}
require_once('./includes/functions.php');

if (DB_QUERIES)
{
// end functions parse timer
$pageendtime = microtime();
$starttime = explode(' ', $pagestarttime);
$endtime = explode(' ', $pageendtime);
$aftertime = $endtime[0] - $starttime[0] + $endtime[1] - $starttime[1];
echo "Time after: $aftertime\n";
echo "Time taken: " . ($aftertime - $beforetime) . "\n";
if (function_exists('memory_get_usage'))
{
echo "Memory After: " . number_format((memory_get_usage() / 1024)) . 'KB' . " \n";
}

perhaps could be the functions.php on the include... I don't see anything wrong... but I'm a lammah on that

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '(' in /home/reality/public_html/admincp/global.php on line 30

Does the error message simply mean to take a parenthesis out of the line??

I'm new to this also.
