Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';'

I made a change to my wordpress functions.php file, and when I refreshed it, I got this..

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/elysseq/public_html/wp-content/themes/monicaburnsv2/functions.php on line 378

line 378 is

	echo get_avatar( $comment, $avatar_size );

Code (markup):

which is what is was before the change. I immediately took out the new piece of code, and put back in the old, however I'm still getting a parse error. Now the entire blog is down. the site is at monicaburns.com. I'd appreciate any help!!!!

this is the entire bit of code...

<div class="comment-author vcard">
					<?php
						$avatar_size = 68;
						if ( '0' != $comment->comment_parent )
							$avatar_size = 39;

						echo get_avatar( $comment, $avatar_size );

						/* translators: 1: comment author, 2: date and time */
						printf( __( '%1$s on %2$s <span class="says">said:</span>', 'monicaburns' ),
							sprintf( '<span class="fn">%s</span>', get_comment_author_link() ),
							sprintf( '<a href="%1$s"><time pubdate datetime="%2$s">%3$s</time></a>',
								esc_url( get_comment_link( $comment->comment_ID ) ),
								get_comment_time( 'c' ),
								/* translators: 1: date, 2: time */
								sprintf( __( '%1$s at %2$s', 'monicaburns' ), get_comment_date(), get_comment_time() )
							)
						);
					?>

					<?php edit_comment_link( __( 'Edit', 'monicaburns' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
				</div><!-- .comment-author .vcard -->

Just paste the old function.php file that you have saved before editing.

 

tried that. i'm still getting the same error.

 

Didn't you create any backup copy of your Wordpress website before changing the file?

 

I did....I backed up the entire site, I have the original php files on hand, and I changed one paragraph...and got the error. So i changed the paragraph back, and got the error. So I copied the entire functions.php file into the editor and still have the error. I haven't yet tried uploading the functions.php file...
I was hoping someone could just tell me what the parse error is, so I don't have to re-upload the entire site and chance losing something.

Please.

 

The error means that the ; before the indicated line is missing. IOW, the parser found line 378 before it found the ; it was looking for. Your code would look like

if ( '0' != $comment->comment_parent )
	$avatar_size = 39 [COLOR="#FF0000"]missing ; here[/COLOR]
echo get_avatar( $comment, $avatar_size );
