Fatal error Admin Dashboard

I was following some instructions on adding a menu item to the admin section. I kept receiving an error so gave up, but when I went to refresh my screen I got this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in inc/admin_design.inc.php(119) : runtime-created function on line 1

Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /inc/admin_design.inc.php on line 120

Here is the code from that section of the file lines 118 to 122

{
$func = create_function( '', $aItem['Check'] );
if( !$func() )
return '';
}

I have no idea what happend I never opened this file I was only in my admin dashboard.

Any help would be great

Thanks
Adam

Please I really need help on this one. I went to a back up and copied the file in question and still get the same error. I even replaced it with a fresh file from a the orginal download.

I cant get into my dashboard!!

someone i hope will be able to help you soon, keep trying for now.

I messaged support as well. Worst case scenriao sp? I will have to have my hosting company to restor the whole site back to yesterday.

I'm guessing your stuck between what you were building and not completing the process. Check SQL DB and ensure what you try to create is dropped from the DB. They try to access your Admin Dash.

Also ensure you don't have spaces in your scripts. What Editor do you use?

My Html editor is Dreamweaver.

I deleted my last two entrances into the database and still get the error.

It looks like I may have to revert to yesterdays back up completly

Well its gonna cost $150 to do a restore. So if there is anyone out there that can help me on this I would be greatfull

You can try dropping the two admin menu tables in your database and run a query with the originals. That will put the menus back to where you started with a fresh install.

Those two are

AdminMenu

AdminMenuCateg

If you are using 6.16 I can give you the replacement from my database as it hasn't been altered.

THIS IS FOR 6.16

WOW thanks,

For the post I will give this a try in the morning when I a little less tired and frustrated.

Good luck in the morning then!

OK so with a little help from both you and l LeonidS I was able to get working.
