Unknown piece of coding on my site ?

monster061 · February 11, 2008

You can check it out on my site HERE and on the english and many other pages there is something that looks like this: ï»¿

It does not appear on the Macedonian and Serbian version.

I checked everything in order not to bother again but unfortunately I did not find the solution.

Smart people on this forum please yet again help me where can I find and remove this ugly code.

February 11, 2008

it is just a few bad characters in index.php. Search near the bottom of the file and you will find it.

You have added some meta tags in the wron place they belong in the existing <head></head> section after doctype.

These two will probably cause your problems

I cannot find this piece of coding anywhere in my website....

Only this shows up in my index.php

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<head>

<title>Futomart On-Line Store Selling FlyJumpers / Powerizers</title>

</head>

Yes, "ï»¿" is the Byte Order Mark (BOM) of the Unicode Standard. Specifically it is the hex bytes EF BB BF, which form the UTF-8 representation of the BOM, misinterpreted as ISO 8859/1 text instead of UTF-8.

Probably what it means is that you are using a text editor that is saving files in UTF-8 with the BOM.

You need a decent text editor .. try ConTEXT.(google it it's free)

Looking at the source I think it is in the footer.

<!-- footer //-->
ï»¿

monster061 · February 11, 2008

I am using Dreamweaver and I cannot find it inside the footer...

Dreamweaver uggh .. never used it but see so many problems caused by it!

I've not used this either but I understand from fellow developers that jedit can help here with BOM removal.

monster061 · February 11, 2008

BOM is only appearing on the English version of my page, other languages are OK, how is this possible ?

Its not on every page as well

Suggests a language file then doesn't it.

languages/english.php

or files in languages/english/ - directory

monster061 · February 11, 2008

I did not find anything that looks like ï»¿ in those files....

And .. I'm not going to support this as this forum is to support core osCommerce code.

Standard osCommerce code would read ..

<!-- body_eof //-->

<!-- footer //-->
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
 <tr class="footer">

Yours reads ..

<!-- body_eof //-->

<!-- footer //-->

Yep as I said .. non standard

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'counter.php');
?>
</td></tr>
</table>
<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>

Should be ..

  require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'counter.php');
?>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
 <tr class="footer">

Even going back to MS2.2

Not another template monster template please??

monster061 · February 11, 2008

I did 1,000,000 millions of things with this template, modifying, adding, changing applying, and now a problem as big as a nail will stay there forever ? :) NO WAY !!!!

Ofc there's a solution .. do it yourself if you can .. if not .. pay for someone to do it.

monster061 · February 11, 2008

I opened this topic in order to find out if someone has encountered a similar problem and is willing to share the experience of solving this problem with me. Paying for someone to do it is the easiest part.

-Please only send me a personal message requesting help if you are willing to pay for it.-

Are you offering your service ?

The posts above regarding the BOM correctly state your issue. I would suggest searching through all of your code for the special chacters that are showing up. They will most likely be either at the very top or very bottom of the affected file.

This happened to some of my clients who were using Microsoft Expression Web HTML editor. The program did not know what to do with the PHP code so it inserted the BOM characters. Pretty stupid I know but there it is.
