Guest Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/fuzzymel/public_html/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 13 The only thing I did was open it, look at the code and then saved it. Now I can ot even access my site. I get the above error. Does the php file have to be uploaded a certain way and not just saved through the oscommerce file manager save?

Does the php file have to be uploaded a certain way and not just saved through the oscommerce file manager save? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, I've found that it is best before doing anything... Always back up the original file. I open files in notepad then save them to my hardrive with the file renamed to include an x like index.php would be renamed to to indexx.php Then just in case things get messed up while tweaking you can just upload indexx.php and then rename it to index.php again and you will get back to where you started. If you open a file in something other than notepad sometimes the code can be altered. I had the same problem at first. I can sympathize! If you still have the downloaded osCommerce file you could open it to a folder on your hardrive then upload that index.php to replace the one you messed up. It doesn't hurt to keep an extra copy of the files on your hardrive. Hope this helps a bit! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtoni Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Hi, I'm new to this but of what I've heard until now, dont use the Oscommerce File Manager - it corrupts your code, you should only use Notepad (currently searching for another option).

I do not see a feature in File manager to change the name either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanRanch Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yep, forget using the Filemanger editor altogether. Even copy/paste from your notepad to Filemanager ediotr then a save will mess up the file by droping escaped characters like what\'s becoming what's and causing a parse error in PHP defines. Use any good local editor and the FTP to your site or if your cpanel has upload facilites use it also. The Filemanager has no "Save as" feature so you can't change the name.
