Parse Error...

Serah · July 20, 2005

I've been trying to fix this bloody parse error for a couple of hours and it's still giving me problems. I'm new to PHP so I'm probably overlooking something really obvious, but I can't find it.

I tried changing TEXT_MAIN, and it all went out the window from there.

I'm editting in Notepad, as recommended on another thread.

Here's my code:

If anyone could help me, I'd really appreciate it.

Oh, and this is the error message I'm getting:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/dztempc/public_html/basket/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 13

You're missing some back slashes :

Any information seen on these products is to be treated as fictional.<br><br><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES .

- then :

define(\'TEXT_MAIN\', \'<span class="messageStackSuccess">This is a default setup of the osCommerce project...</span>\');

then:

Well worth investing in a program like Beyond Compare - let's you compare the original file against the one you've played with :)

Hope that helps
