functions.php line 843 error

It is apparently adding my entry but I think it has a problem with auto pinging for some reason.. This is the section of code where it is hitting a snag …

First line is 841

function weblog_ping($server = ”, $path = ”) {
global $wp_version;
include_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/class-IXR.php’);

// using a timeout of 3 seconds should be enough to cover slow servers
$client = new IXR_Client($server, ((!strlen(trim($path)) || (‘/’ == $path)) ? false : $path));
$client->timeout = 3;
$client->useragent .= ‘ — WordPress/’.$wp_version;

// when set to true, this outputs debug messages by itself
$client->debug = false;
$home = trailingslashit( get_option(‘home’) );
if ( !$client->query(‘weblogUpdates.extendedPing’, get_settings(‘blogname’), $home, get_bloginfo(‘rss2_url’) ) ) // then try a normal ping
$client->query(‘weblogUpdates.ping’, get_settings(‘blogname’), $home);
}

There was another thread about this but I wanted to close this one for anyone else who has the same problem. I realized I had ‘force lowercase’ in my ftp options – so the files were all uploaded in lower case. Once I capitalized the proper letters in the file name it worked fine ??
