3.7.12 dead site

Hello BFA...

I have spent a couple hours trying to solve this with no luck.

My entire site is down and can not log in to WP to make changes.

I am getting this error on the main page of www.oldngold.com

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE in /home/craidcom/public_html/oldngold.com/index.php on line 18

if I download the index page and I see this on line 18

blog-header.php');

I have contacted my hosting support and they seem to think its this line on the bottom
of the index page which I did not see in dreamweaver when I downloaded the index.php file.

root@tito [/home/craidcom/www/oldngold.com]#

I have made NO changes to the site other than a text update on a couple of pages/posts
in the last 2 weeks and everything was fine until yesterday.

Fortunately I did make a backup of the site a couple of months ago with xcloner but I
can't access my wp-admin... and I would like to solve this before uploading a older version
of the pages I changed.

I have tried renaming then deleting (saved a copy first) the ata theme file and it did
not change the index page error.. or revert to the default theme.

I also tried renaming the plugin file (did not delete) and also no change to the site.

Any suggestions???

Thanks
Craig
