functions.php error

[prasinh]

I have a problem with my functions.php

every time i edit it, and ftp it up, my forum turns to a blank white screen. i have tried editing it several ways, and nothing. I don't know what the problem is. As of now, i still have my old functions.php, and of course my calendar is not showing up properly.

I am running callite 1.4.1a on phpbb 2.0.3, on MySQL. Any ideas what the problem is?

Here are the forums, if you need anything else, please let me know.

What text editor are you using? If you are using anything MS related, you are most likely having a carriage return problem after you hit the enter key.

You should try a text editor that doens't add carriage returns or alter the text in any way other than how you mean to alter it.

I use TextPad.

I have never had problems in the past using it. do you think this is the problem??

Possibley.... try another text editor to see if it could be the problem. Also, make sure that when you copy and paste, no extra stray characters are getting added to the text string.

ok I will try another editor. And see if it works.

The problem seems to be the version of phpBB2 you are using... I'll go back through my 2.0.3 modd'd distro and see if there's a simple explanation... but I suspect this problem:

... is the same issue..

Ok part of the problem is that you appear to have made a change that's only phpBB2 2.0.4 compatible...
