Snow Script in PHP

[Guest]

Im trying to add the following snow script to my main page, but I am getting parse errors. Anyone know how to fix this? Im thinking I might not be able to do it because of this ' , and php doesnt like that.

 

Heres the code. Works great in normal html pages.

your kidding! lol

 

ok, exactly how? Was it on a php page or straight html?

 

I cut and paste it into my main page and received a parse error. I wonder if its where I put it??

[nana]

in index.php right before </head>

Any chance you could post a link so I could have a look. With christmas round the corner it might be nice to install some like this.

 

Thank You

it takes a second to test it and just make a backup copy of your index.php

first so if you don't like it you can go back easily

make sure you put it into catalog/index.php not includes/languages/english/index.php

ahhh ok, thats what I did. Thank you!

 

Oh and for the others... heres a link to the html page I installed it on so you can see what it looks like. I was trying to find a script that actually looked realistic. I think this one looks great!
