wp-admin page is blank

1 Views

Something is wrong with my wp-admin page, it just shows up blank. I am pretty sure it has to do with my function.php file there is no whitespace on the top or bottom, but when I delete it completely, the wp-admin folder works again.

here is the functions.php file

<?php

add_action("manage_posts_custom_column",  "booktime_custom_columns");
add_filter("manage_edit-booktime_columns", "booktime_edit_columns");

function booktime_custom_columns($column){
    global $post;

    switch ($column) {
        case "name":
            the_excerpt();
        break;
        case "address":
            $custom = get_post_custom();
            echo $custom["address"][0];

        case "date":
            $custom = get_post_custom();
            echo $custom["date"][0];
        break;

    );

    return $columns;
}

add_action('save_post', 'save_details_booktime');

function save_details_booktime(){
    global $post;
    $custom_meta_fields = array( 'name' );

    foreach( $custom_meta_fields as $custom_meta_field ):
        if(isset($_POST[$custom_meta_field]) && $_POST[$custom_meta_field] != ""):
            update_post_meta($post->ID, $custom_meta_field, $_POST[$custom_meta_field]);
        endif;
    endforeach;

}
?>

EDIT:
I turned wp-config debug on and I get the following 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /Users/anderskitson/Sites/fiftyfity/wp-content/themes/fiftyfityNew/functions.php on line 61

  1. Have you tried changing your function names? The main one that would concern me as potentially having overlap is name(). If I’m doing a theme for myself, usually I’ll use my_ as the prefix for everything, otherwise I’ll use a unique identifier based on the name of the theme.

  2. You need to remove spaces between all closing/opening PHP tags, including:

    }
?>

<?php
add_action('save_post', 'save_details_booktime');

    and

    }
?>

<?php
function name() {

    and

    }

?>

<?php
add_action("admin_init", "admin_init_booktime");

    (Check your file; might not be all-inclusive.)

    Edit

    In addition to @m0r7if3r’s great answer, I would suggest the following as a means of trouble-shooting:

    1. Remove everything from functions.php
    2. Add a single, opening <?php tag. Do not add a closing tag
    3. Add in each of your functions, one at a time, until you find one that causes the site to WSOD.
    4. Fix the issue with that function
    5. Continue with each remaining function, one at a time, until you have restored all of your functions.

  3. I turned wp-config debug on, and found the bug.
    This piece of code was in there at line 61 for some reason and it was causing the error. <p><label>Name:</label><br /> <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $name; ?>"/></p>

  5. To all the folks who get this kind of error a must check option.
    turn on error reporting if you have commented the lines in your wp-config.php

    @ini_set('display_errors','Off');

    and than check for error.
    if it has the error like this 

    PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /[server info]/wp-config.php:77)

    than check your wp-config.php for extra space at top and bottom of the page.remove extra line spaces even. and than re-upload the wp-config.php.
    Most of time this will solve your problem.

    Happy Coding!!!!
