Unexpected t-string error

[russalpcs]

Hi all

 

I am busy with a fresh install at a new web host as I somehow violated the previous hosts TOS after 6 months.

 

I am now getting this error after editing my Shipping.php file in includes/languages/english

 

The error is "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/vhosts/russalpc.co.za/includes/languages/english/shipping.php on line 16"

 

Here is the file's contents

I just had EXACTLY the same problem. My problem was caused by the words Winner's Circle. The apostrophe was the cause of the issue. putting \ before the apostrophe did not help. I removed it entirely and all was OK.

You must not have edited it correctly. The code

define('SOME_TERM', 'some text blah blah Winner\'s Circle blah blah end.');

is correct. Did you remember to clear your browser cache after you made the change, so you weren't picking up the old page contents?

Thanks for the replies - all sorted, but there is now a different error - I have listed it in another query - my website does not show anything when you click on a category, but in my admin, all the products are there?

[MrPhil]

If this is a completely different error, please start a new thread for it.
