Footer PHP

[chriscomer]

Hi I'm new here and looking forward to learning.
So I'm attempting to learn a bit of PHP by dabbling with my theme and managed to break my site. I have fixed it by FTPing the original file. But I would like to learn what I did wrong.

So I added the following code to bottom of my themes Function.PHP file:
//* Change the footer text
add_filter('genesis_footer_creds_text', 'sp_footer_creds_filter');
function sp_footer_creds_filter( $creds ) {
$creds = '[footer_copyright] · My Custom Link · Built on the Genesis Framework';
return $creds;
}
Which worked fine. Then I removed a portion and that is when things broke. So the change looked like this:
//* Change the footer text
add_filter('genesis_footer_creds_text', 'sp_footer_creds_filter');
function sp_footer_creds_filter( $creds ) {
$creds = '[footer_copyright] · My Custom Link;
return $creds;
}
So I made sure that I left the bracket and semicolon which I believe PHP needs. This when things went boom!
So like I said I have it running again but would like to know what I did wrong.
Does anything jump out at anybody.

http://www.elts.net do think it is relevant to my question.
