Parse error

[lildagg3r]

I about to give up trying to clean up default home /catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php page. All i get is parse error and screw's things up. I need a pro to help clean up the junk and set a default Welcom page for me.

 

I follow the default home page guild line on step #2: All i keep getting are errors after errors.

 

Editing Page Texts.

 

The text shown here can be modified in the following file, on each language basis:

 

[path to catalog]/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

That file can be edited manually, or via the Administration Tool with the Languages->English->Define or Tools->File Manager modules.

 

The text is set in the following manner:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project...');

 

The text highlighted in green may be modified - it is important to keep the define() of the TEXT_MAIN keyword. To remove the text for TEXT_MAIN completely, the following example is used where only two single quote characters exist:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

 

More information concerning the PHP define() function can be read here.

 

...Here is the index Code...

 

 

Please help...

Do not use the online file manager to edit the files as it is known to cause errors instead ftp download the file, edit offline and ftp upload to server.
