Parse error

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dizain.biz/httpdocs/iris/admin/includes/languages/english.php on line 108

 

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dizain.biz/httpdocs/iris/admin/includes/languages/english.php:108) in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dizain.biz/httpdocs/iris/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 18

 

Hi,

 

I'm trying to add a contribution that needs me to add a line in english.php. Since I keep getting error messages no matter what, I've tried to just upload the file from my desktop backup. Everything works great. I then enter the File Manager, press edit - But do NOT change anything (I do NOTHING!) but click on save. I then get the error displayed on top of this message. I've tried it 5-6 times - and it happens very time. In the help section, I read I should make sure there is not a blank line at the very end - removing it does not help.

 

If it helps, this is line 108 (when counting from the top:)

define('BOX_TOOLS_WHOS_ONLINE', 'Who's Online');

 

and this is line 18:

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%m/%d/%Y'); // this is used for strftime()

 

I really don't get the problem - but I'm not very familiar with php so maybe it is easy for someone else?

 

Appreciate ANY help!!

try:

 

define('BOX_TOOLS_WHOS_ONLINE', 'Who/'s Online');

 

always escape apostrophes.

Thanks,

 

I tried changing it into this:

 

define('BOX_TOOLS_WHOS_ONLINE', 'Who/'s Online');

 

But still get the:

 

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dizain.biz/httpdocs/iris/admin/includes/languages/english.php on line 108

 

AND the headings in the left menu (should say Catalog, Modules etc) changes into BOX_HEADING_CATALOG, BOX_HEADING_MODULES etc.

 

 

:wacko:

your other left . ..

 

define('BOX_TOOLS_WHOS_ONLINE', 'Who\'s Online');

always get those mixed up - thanx John.

[Guest]

Thanks,

 

I did that - instead got a

 

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dizain.biz/httpdocs/iris/admin/includes/languages/english.php on line 132

 

Line 132 is blank.

When I open the file again, I see it is changed back to the original Who's online. I tried to change it again, and now got the:

 

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dizain.biz/httpdocs/iris/admin/includes/languages/english.php on line 132

 

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dizain.biz/httpdocs/iris/admin/includes/languages/english.php:132) in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dizain.biz/httpdocs/iris/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 18

 

 

 

The file is the original file that came with the OSCommerce download, so I don't think I've messed it up (yet). At least not other than this whole mess...

 

I really appreciate your help!!

Sorry for keeping bugging you .

Sorry - forgot to say that when I remove the blank / empty line, I'm back at the original parse error 108. Which makes sense since the change I make isn't saved. Any way around THAT?

 

Thanks again, Karin

[Guest]

are you sure the lines in this are the same?

 

// tell a friend box text in includes/boxes/tell_a_friend.php

define('BOX_HEADING_TELL_A_FRIEND', 'Tell A Friend');

define('BOX_TELL_A_FRIEND_TEXT', 'Tell someone you know about this product.');

[Guest]

I'm sorry, I didn't quite get what you meant?

 

Those actual lines are not in there, no. Maybe becuase I have disabled the "tell a friend" feature? If you meant what lines around 108 etc looks like, here it is:

 

// tools text in includes/boxes/tools.php

define('BOX_HEADING_TOOLS', 'Tools');

define('BOX_TOOLS_BACKUP', 'Database Backup');

define('BOX_TOOLS_BANNER_MANAGER', 'Banner Manager');

define('BOX_TOOLS_CACHE', 'Cache Control');

define('BOX_TOOLS_DEFINE_LANGUAGE', 'Define Languages');

define('BOX_TOOLS_FILE_MANAGER', 'File Manager');

define('BOX_TOOLS_MAIL', 'Send Email');

define('BOX_TOOLS_NEWSLETTER_MANAGER', 'Newsletter Manager');

define('BOX_TOOLS_SERVER_INFO', 'Server Info');

define('BOX_TOOLS_WHOS_ONLINE', 'Who's Online');

 

Where the last line is 108 and causing problems. (Not accepting the change with the Who's apostreuf)

 

Line 132 is the empty line after the define... _PRODUCTS_PRICE

 

// javascript messages

define('JS_ERROR', 'Errors have occured during the process of your form!nPlease make the following corrections:nn');

 

define('JS_OPTIONS_VALUE_PRICE', '* The new product atribute needs a price valuen');

define('JS_OPTIONS_VALUE_PRICE_PREFIX', '* The new product atribute needs a price prefixn');

 

define('JS_PRODUCTS_NAME', '* The new product needs a namen');

define('JS_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION', '* The new product needs a descriptionn');

define('JS_PRODUCTS_PRICE', '* The new product needs a price valuen');

define('JS_PRODUCTS_WEIGHT', '* The new product needs a weight valuen');

define('JS_PRODUCTS_QUANTITY', '* The new product needs a quantity valuen');

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');

define('JS_DOB', '* The 'Date of Birth' entry must be in the format: xx/xx/xxxx (month/date/year).n');

define('JS_EMAIL_ADDRESS', '* The 'E-Mail Address' entry must have at least ' . ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.n');

define('JS_ADDRESS', '* The 'Street Address' entry must have at least ' . ENTRY_STREET_ADDRE

 

Sorry if I didn't even get your question right!

[Guest]

before i go any further, what version of osCommerce are you running?

[Guest]

oscommerce-2.2ms2

[Guest]

I found this reply on a similar question at the general support:

 

"..Also, don't use the Filemanger edit tool. It may be the culprit that removed your \'s. Just edit locally and ftp to your site if you have to."

 

 

That was what I was using - the Filemanager tool in the Admin area.

I'm posting the recommendation here in case anyone else has experienced the same problem that I did, and is reading this thread!

 

Have a good Tuesday

 

Karin :D
