Parse Error?

[Guest]

While attempting to edit the test in the index.php while this error message appeared:

 

Parse error: parse error in /home/s/p/sportsbasketsusa.com/html/catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 13

 

I saved the original code in a word doc and when i attempted to revert back to the old code the same error appears:

Start over with a fresh copy of the file and edit it locally with your own editor. Do not use the oscommerce File Manger editor, it has a bug that will cause the problem you are experiencing. (it strips the escape character \ from the file...... What\'s becomes What's).

 

Then ftp the changed file back to your website.

it wont allow me to ftp which is why i had to copy and paste ftp error 553 or something to that effect

[OceanRanch]

If your control panel has a built in File Editor then use that to change the file. However if you can't ftp then you may have problems getting the original file back on your server, unless you saved a copy somewhere on your website. (Good idea for future reference)

 

Sounds like you might have a "permissions" problem with your website that is preventing ftp uploads or your host has set up a max upload that you have exceed. The 553 sometimes refers to a diskfull condition. In any event you need to contact your ISP and find out why you can't ftp. If it's not allowed then shop for another host.

i corrected the permissions problem with my host so i have uploaded my changes directly to the server. all i did was change some of the test within the default text to test it and i am recieving the same error??

The first error i can see in your code is this:

 

Your code:

 

define(TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project, products

 

Look closely missing ' before TEXT_MAIN

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project, products
