Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in

[varnco]

I just installed the purchase without account contribution and I get the following parse error:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in checkout_success.php on line 171

 

BTW, there isn't anything on line 171 in checkout_success.php.

 

I haven't done a thing to the checkout_success.php file except add the following text, per the instructions in the readme file:

 

// Added a check for a Guest checkout and cleared the session - 030411 

if (tep_session_is_registered('noaccount')) { 

tep_session_destroy(); 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL')); 

}

else { 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $notify_string, 'SSL')); 

}

 

Is perhaps something wrong with the above code?

 

Now, the instructions said to take the above code and put it in place of this code:

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $notify_string, 'SSL'));

But, my checkout_success.php didn't have that exact text, but this (note the SSL missing:

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $notify_string));

 

I did not have this issue with the success page until I installed this contribution.

 

I found another person on the forum that had this same problem, but their fix was to remove the entire contribution.... I don't want to do that..

 

Thanks for the help!

Is perhaps the "$notify_string" part missing in the NOSSL part?

Okay, I removed the text that the instructions told me to add, and it works fine now.

 

What was the purpose of that set of instructions, anyway?

 

It originally came from this discussion:

Am I putting my store at risk if I don't use the code the readme instructions asked me to add, that was causing the error?

 

Thanks.

I reinstalled the purchase without account contribution, and I am getting the error again:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/varn/public_html/catalog/catalog/checkout_success.php on line 171

 

Last time, I fixed it by removing certain instructions. that said to add

 

// Added a check for a Guest checkout and cleared the session - 030411

if (tep_session_is_registered('noaccount')) {

tep_session_destroy();

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL'));

}

else {

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $notify_string, ?SSL?));

}

 

to checkout_success.php

 

Why would the above command be causing my parse error?

You are missing a curly bracket } in your file.... most pobabably right after what you changed........ :shock:

[varnco]

Actually, it appears there was some white space before the curly bracket on what I cut n pasted from the readme file.

 

Weird thing is, when the order is finished, it doesn't take the customer to the "order done" page anymore, just back to my default page, so it kinda looks like the customer didn't go through, even though it did.

 

How do I get the contribution to take the customer to the "thanks for your order" (the one with the surf board image) page instead of back to my home page?
