Parse errors again on Shipping & Privacy

[photojen]

Hi I dont know why its so hard to change the Shipping & Returns, and Privacy pages. After looking up how to, i have altered the text in (notepad) in the actual English files (kept on my PC), uploaded to site, and still have a Parse error on line 16 blah...

 

God or his mighty IT disciples, what more must i do???

Would help if you gave us the error and the code on the language file... a few lines before and including the line the error is on.

MY SITE IS: www.collagemyphotos.com/store

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/html/store/includes/languages/english/shipping.php on line 16

 

Here is the code in one of them, but it never works for me just altering the PHP file (have to employ smarter person):

 

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Shipping & Returns');

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Shipping only applies to scrapbooking products. Shipping is a flat fee (usually of A$5.00) for Kits but is subject to addressee's location: if in remote part of Australia or other country, postage will be manually calculated and final fee paid by customer before it ships. Shipping will in most cases take 2-5 days (Australia only). Returns will only be accepted for inferior quality/items not as described, not for damage by Australia Post. All care is taken to pack Kits in cardboard. Insurance is optional at a $2.50 per package charge');

?>

to addressee's location:

 

should be

 

 

to addressee\'s location:

 

Whenever you use an ' in a sentence you MUST proceed it what an escape character otherwise PHP will process it as part of the code

[custodian]

Without that \ php will look at that line this way

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Shipping only applies to scrapbooking products. Shipping is a flat fee (usually of A$5.00) for Kits but is subject to addressee'

 

 

s location: if in remote part of Australia or other country, postage will be manually calculated and final fee paid by customer before it ships. Shipping will in most cases take 2-5 days (Australia only). Returns will only be accepted for inferior quality/items not as described, not for damage by Australia Post. All care is taken to pack Kits in cardboard. Insurance is optional at a $2.50 per package charge');

 

So it see the first line and it doesn't end with a ;

 

and the second line starts with an s and ends with a ' but there was no opening ' for it...

Thanks . The Privacy page works as I took out all in-text apostrophes, however shipping.php page wont come up now, even with \'.

 

Will keep trying. Thanks, Jen

Gosh youre nice. Here it is:

 

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Shipping & Returns');

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Shipping & Returns');

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Shipping only applies to scrapbooking products. Shipping is a flat fee (usually of A$5.00) for Kits but is subject to addressee's location: if in remote part of Australia or other country, postage will be manually calculated and final fee paid by customer before it ships.

All care is taken to pack Kits in cardboard. Insurance is optional at a $2.50 per package charge');

?>

 

IT TAKES OUT THE \ WHEN I HIT SAVE. Is there another way?

That's why everyone recommends not to use the file manager in osc, that's what it does

 

You need to ftp the file to your computer.. modify it and ftp it back up to the server

 

OR reword it so there are no \ 's needed

That's what my wife says too... oh wait.. no.. she says I'm "Sick" :devil:

Maybe something like

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Shipping only applies to scrapbooking products.

Did you type that in, ot copy and paste? if you copy and pasted, it may have borken the line into several lines. It needs to be 1 line (it's ok if it word wraps on it's own, but no hard breaks or returns.)

 

If you did copy and paste, type typing it in instead and see if that corrects the page being blank.
