Make sure that the end of all of your lines have a ';' to it, and that all of your define statements are like this define('TEXT_STUFF', 'My text info'); Making sure that all of your apostrophes are there. Happens to me all of the time when I'm adjusting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nullachtfuffzehn Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The T_STRING error is definitly bacause you added some text with either single or double quotes which are not escaped. Since the entry you've made is recognized as one complete string variable any of the qoutes interrupts the string and forces this error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty new to all this stuff so would you be able to explain in a way that an idiot like myself can understand...What do you mean by single or double quotes are not escaped and one string variable... I really don't have a clue. many many thanks Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't have a clue. many many thanks Anna He's just talking about how php programming handles strings, or a sentence that is displayed on the web page. When you create a variable, which you are doing with the define('TEXT_STUFF', 'My sentence goes here');, it's basically creating a shortcut to grab the sentence you created and use it. What he's talking about with single vs. double quotes is that php programming expects certain things when you use either ' or ". If you start with a single ', the you need to end with a single ', otherwise the programming will think that everything is a sentence and the rest of your program will fail. The same theory applies with double ". If you think that it's stupid for it to see one thing and expect another when the are pretty much the same thing, then you're not far off. I know I thought that when I was learning it. ;-) However, it is important when you are doing things like getting or inserting data from the database. There are time when you need to put almost a whole paragraph of information into the table, like the comments in osCommerce. In that case, you need to tell the programming where the sentence stops and starts. There will also be times that someone might want to put a quote into that paragraph. So, what osCommerce has done is started off the sentence that tells the programming to insert into the database with a single ', and any other quotes that are done inside of the comments are done with double". It's a crude example, but I hope that it helps you understand things a little better. If you have any other questions, you know where to post them. Good Luck!

Nullachtfuffzehn Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Quick example: define('TEXT_STUFF', 'My sentence goes here'); is valid and will bring no error. But define('TEXT_STUFF', 'That's where my sentence goes.'); Will bring up the mentioned T_STRING error, since there is a single quote in the word What's. This needs to be escaped, which means masked, so thet PHP doesn't interpret it as a single quote rather than just a sign. So the correct version would be: define('TEXT_STUFF', 'That\'s where my sentence goes.'); Just put a backslash in front of the single quote to be escaped and you're good to go. Search your text for them and add the backslash. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
