Modifying text on main page

Hi people,

 

Every time i make any kind of change in the languages/english/index.php file i get a parse error!?!

 

At first i thought it was a syntax error, but now Im sure it isnt.

 

for example; i can open it up and delete say the letter's' from the text 'This is a default setup of osCommerce Online....'

save it and i will get the parse error, if i change it back i still get the parse eroor and have to delete the script and replace with the original.

 

Any ideas from anywhere?

 

Any help appreciated!

 

With all the tips so far i have gotten this far!!!

I always understood it is bad to use it. Instead ftp the file to your computer, edit it with a (real) text editor and then upload it again is the best way. Actually, the best way is to develop locally and then upload everything. Then you a. have a backup and b. you don't have to start screaming here HELP, HELP I TRIED TO [....] AND NOW MY SHOP IS BROKEN, HELP HELP I'M LOSING CUSTOMERS because you can test things out safely :lol:

Just be careful with the single quotes ( ' ). You need to escape those with a backslash in front of them... \'
