Parse Error Line 18

[Diajejo]

Hi, Im getting this error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/diajejo/public_html/oscommerce/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 18

 

I cant see where the problem is. This is the area with the problem I think. From which point does one count lines??

Use a more advanced program than notepad to edit your files and you will have the option (or default) of viewing line numbers. I like Notepad++ It's free and easy to use. Dreamweaver can show line numbers, too.

I'm guessing your error is here:

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let's See What We Have Here');

Single quotes and apostrophes need to be escaped like this: Let\'s

Otherwise the php reads all wrong.

Thanks, that fixed that error. Now I have one on line 32 which is this. Do you see what the problem is?

define('TEXT_NOW', 'Now');

Thanks again:)

That line actually says ''Now', and should (because of the unescaped apostrophy used) read:

'\'Now'

 

Do as Mibble advised and get yourself a text editor which shows line numbers and you'll be able to see the mistakes for yourself.

 

Also, stop using the osCommerce File Manager to edit files - it's this that is removing the backslashes and causing the errors. To edit osCommerce files properly follow the "Psst?? Got a parse error??" link below my name.

I did d-load the notepad ++ and it works great. And thanks for the tip on how to edit properly. I didnt realize that doing it from the file it could cause errors.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi, I did edit it with Notepad and made the correction. It now reads define('TEXT_NOW', '\'Now'); And Im still getting Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/diajejo/public_html/oscommerce/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 32

This is so frustrating...Thanks, Diana
