decorations in the UK.

We specialise in delivering high quality decorations for all occasions.');

but even when I put this

Ok, Here is a new index.php file.

Replace your copy with this one and replace the PUT YOUR TEXT HERE with what you want to have on the main page.

You will also have to edit this line:

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to YOUR STORE NAME');

with appropriate text.

That will solve the immediate problem - but for future reference - don't use the osCommerce File Manager to edit files. Download the file, back it up under another name, edit it in a plain text editor (Notepad will do) then upload it again. If you have a problem you can rename the backed up file to its original name, upload it and no harm done. If you use apostrophies in text they must be escaped with a backslash in front of them:
