Error Message on Index Page

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING (edited personal info)/index.php on line 18

 

I understand there is an error in the index.php file but, I can't find it on line 18.

 

I removed all the HTML codes I had added

 

I have been working on the Index Page in this section of the file:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', there is another ' single right after the comma, then what I had to say on the Index page..... now at the end of what I have said, do I add ') or just the ' or no?

 

It has been a while and I just need a little push in the right direction.... it was going so well too :'(

 

Thank you for any help, I love the program so far!

 

Sincerely

Char :)

It should be:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'You text here between the single quotes, semi-colon at the end');

 

Also, escape any apostrophes within the text with a backslash:

 

Don\'t, won\'t, can\'t etc.

Thanks Peter, it seems there is more then one, I have run through lines 18, 13, 22, and now 21.

 

I made the corrections you suggested then found the "&" I had used as a short form and replace them with the word instead..... can't find anything else, even read it outloud.

 

And I did add the ');

 

Back on as well...... now on line 21 and nothing I can see :'(

 

Thanks for the help though, I did learn something new lol the "\" with the apostrophies

 

Sincerely

Char :o)

If you remove all the text from the TEXT_MAIN constant, so you are left with just

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

 

does the error go away?

 

Make a copy of the file and try it.
