Parse Error - Please help


Guest

Recommended Posts

This is probably a really stupid question, but here goes.

 

I changed the text on my english index page through file manager in the admin panel, and the result was this,

 

Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/vhosts/imripe.com.au/httpsdocs/shop/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 13

 

I went into the admin panel and checked the German language index page to see where I had gone wrong, I tried a few changes and nothing.

 

With this error message under Welcome Guest!... the onlu text now is

TEXT_MAIN

 

I also have

HEADING_TITLE
where it used to say something like "What do we have here" and further the box underneath with new product images in it is now titles
TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS

 

This is what the code looks like now, if anyone could point out my stupid error it would be much appreciated.

Edit a fresh copy using a text editor and upload the changed file to your server - the filemanager removes backslashes, causing parse errors.

I have had a look through the equivalent german language index.php page and compared against the english equivalent. I can't see anyhting different oter than the first sentence of text that I have changed. There does not seem to be any backslashes missing at all.

 

It has me stumped.

 

Any ideas, besides uploading a new page to the server. This could be a bit of a problem as I don't think can just d/load a new english index.php page for a start and my host has OS commerce already installed on their servr.

Hi Michael,

I have a copy of a freeware editor and it works great. Email me at [email protected] and I will send you a link to it. Works with HTML, JS, CSS and just about anything you want to do. I will find the link for you in case you want it.
