Any amendment wrecks the site

[dave249]

For some reason I am not able to amend my site without bringing it down. On the index page I just changed 1 letter in the following line:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome, here you can find the latest movies available. We also stock a large range of older movies including hard to find titles.');

 

and each time I loaded up my site I got just an error message about line 34.

 

Ok so I loaded the back up in and all was fine, then changed in again and this time I got an error in line 20.

 

Any ideas what is going on? I am not brilliant with php and my previous sites were made with Frontpage. I have downloaded DZSoft PHP Editor but I cant preview the amended page in there as it shows up an error

 

Any ideas what I am doing wrong

 

Thanks

 

Dave

Can you post the error message you are seeing.

[dave249]

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/dvdmovie/public_html/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 20

 

 

this is one of the error messages

If you are entering a single quote or apostrophe you need to escape all occurances of that character with a backslash, e.g. ' should be \' and that is most likely your problem.
