functions.php crash despite replacing file

    I made some amendments to my theme’s functions.php file, which caused a crash. So I replaced it with a functions.php file from another site using the same theme – yet the error message

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /www/sites/3f2/f8a/www.anyoldlights.co.uk/web/wp-content/themes/Divi/functions.php on line 5020

    will not go away. (Is there a server-side delay – I did this over an hour ago but error message persists?)

    Equally odd, only the www. version crashes.

    http://www.anyoldlights.co.uk – kaput
    http://anyoldlights.co.uk – fine

    Advice gratefully received!

    Remove ‘<‘ symbol at line 5020. It’s causing a syntax error. (backup everything first)

    The functions.php file ends at line 5018 (I did add some code to the end of the file, so would have appeared on line 5020, which caused the crash – but as I said I’ve replaced that with this new version with the erroneous code erased)
