thanks for your reply, that much i have found out so far...but i can't find a backup of the file anywhere.... is PHP complicated to learn? can someone with basic html experience learn enough PHP to fix something like that? (in a short amt of time)

Ok, first let me say hello, and thanks for viewing this. I do not know very much about PHP at all, and therein lies the problem... I was editing a php document for my friends website. All I was doing was adding a line of code so that his site would include a favicon. I right-clicked on the website and viewed his source, and copied all the code into notepad, added the string of code for the favicon, and uploaded it to his FTP. Unfortunately when I did that I overwrote some of the PHP code I believe...it didn't copy that when I viewed the site source. I want to make it right for my friend and fix his website but I have NOOOO idea what to do... So I have turned to this forum for help... This is my friends website: thcklan . com The "recent topics" and "recent posts" at the top, the "hackers banned from our servers," and the "announcements" no longer update properly... It's like they are frozen at the state they were in when I copied the site's source code... I feel like an utter jack arse for ruining my buds front page. Please, I am asking you from deep within my heart, HELP ME, point me in the right direction, or guide me in some way to make it right to my good friend and fix his site!
