Unexpected "T_ECHO"...Please Help!

[hairgenius10]

I got this on my homepage unexpectedly...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function dynamic_sidebar() in /home/content/36/8575136/html/wp-content/themes/mosaic/functions.php on line 459


Then tried to tweak the code myself and got this...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO, expecting ')' in /home/content/36/8575136/html/wp-content/themes/mosaic/functions.php on line 460

I even changed it back and it's still messed up! I don't know what to do and it may have been because of a plugin update, I'm not sure. Can anyone help me....my site doesn't work!


Here is a snippet of the code that is needing to be fixed....

add_action('mosaic_header','mosaic_logo', 2);


// Hookable theme option field to add add'l content to header
// Child Theme Override: child_header_extras();
function mosaic_header_extras() {
echo '<div id="header-extras">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'header-widget-area' );
echo '</div>';
}
add_action('mosaic_header','mosaic_header_extras', 3);




**Lines 450 and 460 are the "dynamic_sidebar...." and "echo '</div>'"....

Not sure why this is in general web building, this is a PHP error.
This code passes a lint test (as well as visual :P). Your problem is elsewhere. Is this code from functions.php?

Edit:
Oh wait you were changing things so there are two possible errors.
The first one is clear, there is no function called dynamic_sidebar in scope to work with. Maybe your missing an include?
The second one could be caused by having an open string prior to the error. We can't verify that since you don't have enough code.

The dynamic_sidebar() function is part of the WordPress Core. There should be no reason you're getting an error for it.

Where you editing any of the core files (anything not in the theme directory)?

If you don't find any errors in your functions.php file that would explain it I would suggest doing a fresh install of WordPress. If your still getting any errors then get a fresh copy of the mosaic theme.
