 * My blog was working without issue this morning, then suddenly began serving up
   this error:
 * Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /hsphere/local/home/blog/wp-
   includes/functions.php on line 48
 * Lines 45 through 48 of functions.php are as follows:
 * function current_time($type, $gmt = 0) {
    switch ($type) { case ‘mysql’: if (
   $gmt ) $d = gmdate(‘Y-í-d H:i:s’);
 * Ideas?

 * In my files the line #48 looks like this:
 * `if ( $gmt ) $d = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s');`
 * Did you ever edit WP core files???

 * That worked, thanks. Why/how would my functions.php file have gotten corrupt?
   I haven’t modified anything since the 2.3.1 upgrade.
