Editing index.php

[kat310370]

Hi it said post new topic somehow i dont think it is. I am trying to delete the default text on index page. Could someone please have a look at the code and see what i have done wrong.

 

I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in includes/languages/english/index.php on line 19

 

Guess I must have deleted something important. Have reinstalled 4 times now. Well i guess it will cheer someone up if nothing else.

 

Thanks in anticipation of a reply.

single quotes must be escapedin php strings so strings like this:

 

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

 

must be:

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

well I was hoping you would review the other strings you have first. like

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'What's New Here?');

 

are you using the osc old file manager to edit files? You could either upgrade your store or use a regular editor.

I am using file manager and changing and saving from there. If you have any suggestions on other editors let me know. Thanks

May I jump in with a question? I have text pad. Do I copy the text on index.php and paste it to Text Pad. Then make my changes, and copy from Text Pad back to the index.php in the File Manager and save it? In file manager, if I change even just one letter in a text and save, my default osCommerce page is blank.

It's really best to start a new topic.
