Winterchild Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 When you used the backup, you cleared temporary internet files or whatever? Sadly the line number the error returns isn't always the line with the error. The error could mean you have a missing quote.

The error could mean you have a missing quote. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :huh: is there anywhere on the forum where I can reload this (general.php) to the correct functions. I have no idea how to fix this and I have searched all the documentation on here with no help. I would appreciate any help, as my site is not working at all.

♥Vger Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Just go to the downloads section of www.oscommerce.com and download the osCommerce MS2.2 zip file, unzip on your computer, and you'll have a complete set of unedited files in the 'catalog' folder of the download. For future reference - do not use the osCommerce File Manager to edit files - it causes parse errors. Download the file, take a backup (just in case), edit it in a plain text editor like notepad or Text Pad (better), and then upload again. Any problems - restore from the backup you took.
