# Big issue with functions.php

 * Hi everybody,
 * I just installed a plugin for a site which required a few additional lines to
   be added to functions.php for my theme. I hastily pasted these lines in, not 
   realizing that there was a semicolon missing, and saved the file. Now every page
   of the site returns a PHP error citing that line, including the editor itself
   when I try to fix it.
 * This would be simple to fix if I had FTP access, but I’m not the owner of the
   site so I don’t. I’m curious if anyone else has had this happen, and if there’s
   another way to fix it without going to the site owner and telling him I need 
   the FTP info so that his site isn’t completely unusable.
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * There is no way as you will need either delete and replace functions.php file
   or download and edit the file and that can only be done using ftp or server.
