Topic: Locked out of Site FATAL ERROR

I attempted to edit the slideshow.css file as per one of the posts I found here about randomizing the order of the slides in the slideshow.  When I attempted to save the change, I got the following error..

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/content/a/1/2/myusername/html/wp-content/themes/arras/library/slideshow.php on line 14

Now I can not get into the wordpress admin site to control my blog.  Everytime I go the my <<web site.com>>/wp-admin, I get the Fatal Error shown above.

HELP!!!!!

P.S. when I try and go to my web site, all I get is a blank screen.  Looks like I really screwed things up.

Don't you have a backup of the css file? if you don't, re-download the theme, take the css file from the fresh download and upload it to you FTP and overwrite the messed up CSS file to get things back to normal.

Thanks.  That did the trick.
