 * When i try to access my website, an error comes up saying Parse error: syntax
   error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/dadtech/public_html/dubhappy/wp-content/themes/
   businesslite/functions.php on line 1
 * Here’s the code.
 * `<?phpfunction getNav(){ echo str_replace(array("<ul>","</ul>","<li class=\"page_item\"
   >","<li class=\"page_item current_page_item\">","</li>"),"",wp_list_pages('depth
   =-1&echo=0&title_li='));}if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) register_sidebar(
   array('before_widget' => ", 'after_widget' => ", 'before_title' => '<h2>', 'after_title'
   => '</h2>', ));?>`

 * `<?phpfunction`
 * That should be:
    `<?php function`
