My co admin who I work with on djpassion hasn't been about for a month or so but I needed something changed on his personal website just in the index, so removed the code myself but now when going to his index page I get the following error
| Code:
|
<br />
<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in <b>/home/djpassio/public_html/reasonfreak/index.php</b> on line <b>1</b><br />
|
I used windows notepad to edit the file, I think it didn't save the coding in the correct format (like it wrapped the word coding) hence why there is a syntax error on the first line I think  maybe it’s something to do with it not opening the page or exiting the page corretcly. Bad news is that I never made a backup of the file before I overwritten it so I can't restore the original 
How do I fix this???
Here is the index pages coding
| Code:

<?php require_once("includes/header.php") ;?><h2>Welcome to my site</h2><p>Hello and welcome to the website of website designer / trance DJ / music producer, Karl Schaap, aka Reasonfreak.</p><h3>DJing / Music Production</h3><p>I started getting into dance music around 1995-1996. What more than likely, as I remember, got me into the scene was after listening to Pete Tong’s radio one essential selection show around that time. I also started to Danny Rampling’s show where he was playing the psychedelic trance on his shows, I instantly became hooked with this style of music and decided to invest in a set of turntables and a mixer in late 1996. Not knowing that Technics are the godsend of decks the decks I got were a set of Kam-Bdx180 belt drives (Shame on you I hear you say, but I soon realised that belts sucked, but I had to admit those turntables did the job for a beginner, like I was then). The mixer was worse, a 2 channel "commando" style mixer, like it was taken out of the army haha, with no eq, just a gain control. I have no idea how I mixed on that, I really don’t.</p><p>This made me make the decision to buy a better mixer, so I invested in a 3 channel numark mixer with full eq control, unfortunately I can’t remember the exact name of it now but it was definitely a lot better than the 2 channel army mixer I had, in the bin that went.</p><p>After a while of practising I decided to try and get myself gigs around the local area in 1998, so I asked around and got to play in a few bars, house party’s, the local club and a few festivals. The area where I live did not have much to offer so I was left dormant to my bedroom, blasting the tunes out of the window and annoying the neighbours.</p><p>This was on-going up until the middle of 1999 when I started getting into production. I started messing around with the ejay packs and the program music 2000. (got to start somewhere :$), then I looked into getting a copy of <a href="http://www.flstudio.com" title="FL Studio" target="_blank">fruityloops</a>. I started studying how the program worked and making a few songs with fruity, basically looking at other peoples tracks and how they were done and implementing that into my own work.</p><p>After a few years of working with fruity I went on and got myself a copy of <a href="http://www.propellerheads.se" title="Reason" target="_blank">propellerheads Reason</a> around the end of 2001.

As you can see all of the coding is close together! It didn't look like that the first time I opened the file using notepad.
Please help... I’d like to get this fixed before he notices ** sssssh* lol  |

Try and find a backup of the file, and don't use Notepad.
Use Wordpad or Crimson Edition or something like that.

I used to get this happen a lot when using notepad but it stopped doing it and I just thought it was my pc or something therefore I didn't think to backup the file before I removed a djpassion.co.uk Google analytics code. If that dam notepad didn't make the coding go all funny it would've been job done. Since this happened though I’ve been using a php, html etc editor called Aranae and haven't come into the problem I get with notepad ever since.
Nightrider didn't know what Aranae is so here's a link for those who what to check it out http://www.christopher-powell.co.uk/private/Software/araneae.rar
Still though, I DO NOT have a backup of the index file I messed up...
I know this is nothing to do with area51/phpbb2/easymod but there's no where else to post this |

Do you still have the original window open? If you did, then you could Undo (Edit > Undo) all the changes.

Well, without a backup, all the lines and spaces need to be put back in manually.
Send me the file and I'll try my best.
PM me if you want to add me on MSN to send it.

You might want to take a look at this too. I used 1st Page 2000's
Tidy utility to format it in a more human looking format. I didn't correct any errors in the code though...
