WordPress can't save

I cannot save anything in my wordpress dashboard without my dashboard vanishing and everything turning into a white blank screen. I am running my WordPress on a MAMP server locally. I can save the file, the screen goes blank and when I click the browser back button it saved the work fine. Weird!

Here are my files

Here is my header

<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

        <?php endif; ?>


    </div>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Is the problem in my settings in my dashboard or my coded files?

Figured it out...stupid simple!!

Need to remove ?> from the bottom of my functions file :/

It really is the small things in life that matter the most!
