Anyone know why this is happening??

 

this is the line in question

 

Line 13 = define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Want the best deals on soccer shirts?, you came to the right

 

is there something missing ??

 

this is the whole paragraph

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Want the best deals on soccer shirts?, you came to the right place. Yoursoccershirts.com offers shirts from all the major leading club teams, and international teams from around the world.<b>***OUR PRICES ARE FULL PRICE'S NO HIDDEN EXTRA'S,PRICE INCLUDES SHIRT,NAME,NUMBER,PATCHES & FAST TRACK SHIPPING, ALSO DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUR SPECIALS SECTION***</b>.Get the best prices available on all soccer shirts today, also check out our special offer section.</font>');

i believe you need it to be:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Want the best deals on soccer shirts\?, you came to the right

 

 

however, i think that the '?' is out of place and NOT gramatically correct. I would loose it all together. '?' is only used for the END of a sentence

You need to "escape" certain characters, single quote being one of them

 

e.g.

 

EXTRA'S

 

becomes

 

EXTRA\'S

 

I can see at least 2 places where you need to do it.

If you are having problems like this and you would like an easy way out without having to escape characters the answer is

 

use here-doc this also works superbly for javascript

 

Take the code in your first post .. the following will work yet the text is unchanged.

 

$mytext =
<<<MYTEXT
Want the best deals on soccer shirts?, you came to the right place. 
Yoursoccershirts.com offers shirts from all the major leading club teams, and international teams from around the world.
<b>***OUR PRICES ARE FULL PRICE'S NO HIDDEN EXTRA'S,PRICE INCLUDES SHIRT,NAME,NUMBER,PATCHES & FAST TRACK SHIPPING, ALSO DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUR SPECIALS SECTION***</b>.

MYTEXT;
define('TEXT_MAIN', $mytext);

By the way, on both of those where you used the apostrophe/single quote, in extra's and price's, it is grammatically INCORRECT to use the apostrophe anyway, so rather than doing the forward slash, just remove the apostrophe/single quote altogether. I'm a grammar nazi/freak, so if you would like someone to look over your site and correct any other errors, I would LOVE to do it. Just pm me.
