Annoying Parse Error

[battybaby]

I hope this can be fixed without reinstalling. I was using the built in OSC file manager, I changed the page title from 'oscommerce' to 'admin centre' then pressed save. On the following page I got this error:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/shop/admin/includes/languages/english.php on line 128

 

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/shop/admin/includes/languages/english.php:128) in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/catalog/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 18

 

english.php-

I copied the php code from my english.php and pasted it into EditPlus to locate the line number and hopefully the error.

 

Line number 125-130 looks like this:

 

define('JS_PRODUCTS_MODEL', '* The new product needs a model valuen');
define('JS_PRODUCTS_IMAGE', '* The new product needs an image valuen');
define('JS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS_PRICE', '* A new price for this product needs to be setn');
define('JS_GENDER', '* The 'Gender' value must be chosen.n');
define('JS_FIRST_NAME', '* The 'First Name' entry must have at least ' . ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.n');
define('JS_LAST_NAME', '* The 'Last Name' entry must have at least ' . ENTRY_LAST_NAME_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.n');

 

Like I said, I only changed the page title, I haven't touched this section of code. As for the error pointing at general.php - I haven't altered this page at all, infact the permissions are still so that I can't change it. As per the wiki docs section I deleted any blank spaces at the end of the code but that hasn't made a difference. Is there a PHP genius out there who can help me identify the problem?

Change

 

define('JS_PRODUCTS_MODEL', '* The new product needs a model valuen');
define('JS_PRODUCTS_IMAGE', '* The new product needs an image valuen');
define('JS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS_PRICE', '* A new price for this product needs to be setn');
define('JS_GENDER', '* The 'Gender' value must be chosen.n');
define('JS_FIRST_NAME', '* The 'First Name' entry must have at least ' . ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.n');
define('JS_LAST_NAME', '* The 'Last Name' entry must have at least ' . ENTRY_LAST_NAME_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.n');

 

to

 

define('JS_PRODUCTS_MODEL', '* The new product needs a model valuen');
define('JS_PRODUCTS_IMAGE', '* The new product needs an image valuen');
define('JS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS_PRICE', '* A new price for this product needs to be setn');
define('JS_GENDER', '* The \'Gender\' value must be chosen.n');
define('JS_FIRST_NAME', '* The \'First Name\' entry must have at least ' . ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.n');

BTW, when you say....

 

Like I said, I only changed the page title, I haven't touched this section of code.

 

You are not exactly telling the complete truth, ;)

The built in OSC file manager has been known to remove backslashes when editing files - edit your files offline with a text editor and upload to your server.

Thank you. And I really did only change the page title!

[wizardsandwars]

Sorry about that. I didn't know about the bug with the OSC file editor, because I've never used it before.

 

So, I guess I falsely accused you.

 

I would suggest though that you get a real editor.
