PROBLEM, MY STORE ISN'T WORKING! (TEXT_MAIN)

[jackgilbert]

Hi all, my son has created a oscommerce store and he's had a go at typing in some content on the main first index page. He's edited the code as follows:

<?php
/*
 $Id: index.php,v 1.1 2003/06/11 17:38:00 hpdl Exp $

 osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions
 http://www.oscommerce.com

*/

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to my catalog, I hope you find what you need here.')
define('NEW PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s');
define('UPCOMING PRODUCTS', 'Upcoming Products');
define('DATE EXPECTED', 'Date Expected');

if ( ($category_depth == 'products') || (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) ) {
 define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let's See What We Have Here');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_IMAGE', '');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_MODEL', 'Model');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS', 'Product Name');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_MANUFACTURER', 'Manufacturer');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_QUANTITY', 'Quantity');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_PRICE', 'Price');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_WEIGHT', 'Weight');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_BUY_NOW', 'Buy Now');
 define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS', 'There are no products to list in this category.');
 define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS2', 'There is no product available from this manufacturer.');
 define('TEXT_NUMBER_OF_PRODUCTS', 'Number of Products: ');
 define('TEXT_SHOW', '<b>Show:</b>');
 define('TEXT_BUY', 'Buy 1 '');
 define('TEXT_NOW', '' now');
 define('TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES', 'All Categories');
 define('TEXT_ALL_MANUFACTURERS', 'All Manufacturers');
} elseif ($category_depth == 'top') {
 define('HEADING_TITLE', 'What's New Here?');
} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {
 define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Categories');
}
?>

 

and when he uploads that index.php file to catalog/includes/languages/english it says the following note on the store index page:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/tignes/public_html/store/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 14

 

Please can someone help my son with this problem as me and my son are noob's at oscommerce.

His store is THIS

Thanks again,

Jack

For a start, you need a semi-colon to mark the end of line.

 

So for TEXT_MAIN, it should be:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to my catalog, I hope you find what you need here.');

 

For TEXT_NOW, there are three single codes. Decide on what it should be, a blank (i.e. '') or now (i.e. 'now'):

 

define('TEXT_NOW', '' now');

 

Same problem with TEXT_BUY

Let's should be Let\ 's

and

What's should be What\'s

 

You need to insert the backslashes to stop the apostrophe being recognised as PHP code.
