parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')'

[Guest]

I am recieving a parse error in my code on line 26 of a new info box I created. (I used the information.php as a template)

the code is:

 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="http://www.kristenscatbeds.com/catalog/includes/languages/english/ebay.php">' Ebay Auctions '</a><br>');

Maybe I am doing something that is now allowed. I created a new info box and it appears on my website (yeah) I then went ahead to add a link for my auctions. I fixed other problems by doing what the error said (missing this, expecting that) but this one has stumped me.

I am learning the programming as I go... :blush:

Try

Do you have Ebay Auctions defined in a language file? If not try

 

'<a href="http://www.kristenscatbeds.com/catalog/includes/languages/english/ebay.php">Ebay Auctions</a><br>');

 

If you do then try

 

'<a href="http://www.kristenscatbeds.com/catalog/includes/languages/english/ebay.php">' . Ebay Auctions . '</a><br>');

Try this

 

ebay.php">' . 'Ebay Auctions' . '</a><br>');

:D Thank you! The box lists with the link now. I tried both replies and both suggestions worked! I encountered another error aftwards that the file ebay.php is forbidden access on my server. I am going to try some things with that but any suggestions are welcomed too!!

Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!

Great advice! I googled this, and it helped me out with my syntax error. If it's nto defined as a language file, you use different syntax than if it is defined by a language file. Thank you, Ozc,
