AGB php code showing up on webpage

I edited a file in my guestbook (Language/english.php) and now the entire php script/code is appearing at the top of my guestbook page.
This is the address for my guestbook:

http://www.hergetfamily.us/guestbook/index.php

I simply changed a quote at $LANG["FormMess1"] as I have been flooded with spam in the past few days and thought it would keep spammers from searching for the original text.

I'm not a programmer. It has been nearly 2 years since installing my guestbook or making any changes to it. I'm at a total loss as to what I should do.

How would that particular bit stop spammers.???

$LANG['FormMess1'] = 'Fill out the blanks below to sign the guestbook. After you submit your entry, you will be returned to the guestbook. The blanks with (*) represent required fields.';

This was posted by Carbonize........and like I said, I'm not a programmer, I assumed changing the text would help. Regardless, I still don't know how to fix it.

They could just use google and do a search for a phrase that only appears on the advanced guestbook. This is one of the reasons I removed the proxy2 link from the bottom of mine. Search for this exact text including quotes on google "Fill out the blanks below to sign the guestbook" to see what i mean. You will notice that every result is the add entry page for advanced guestbook even if they have renamed the file.

I've searched and found some information that helped me solve the problem.
Thanks Carbonize for all your helpful advice on this forum! I was able to find similar problems and apply it to my own dilemma. One post in particular turned out to be the answer.

The problem with cPanel is that it adds a new line to the end of the files it edits. This is why I always recommend downloading the file and editing it on your PC with a text editor.
