Parse Error?

[JJH35]

ok, when i installed it, the main page had those 4 things there listing how to edit text and what not, i went in and change a few words on there to make the catalog/languages/english/index.php look like this

define('TEXT_Main', '' Welcome');
define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s');
define('TABLE_HEADING_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS', 'Upcoming Products');
define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_EXPECTED', 'Date Expected');

now when i go to the main page i get this error "Parse error: parse error in /homepages/33/d94199407/htdocs/catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 18"

line 18 has this on it

['manufacturers_id'])) ) {

and on the page ive got stuff like Text_Main showing up on there randomly and stuff like that, what i do wrong?

First of all
define('TEXT_Main', '' Welcome');
(cause this mean it is 'TEXT_Main' = '' - nul/zipo/zilch/nada/nothing)
Also "Main" should be all caps.

S/B:
define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome');

Also you should check a backup or orgianl copy of that file... you would see that your line had be shorten - alot...(maybe even missing a line or two....)

(lines 16-23
....
define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_EXPECTED', 'Date Expected');
define('TABLE_HEADING_DEFAULT_SPECIALS', 'Specials For %s');

if ( ($category_depth == 'products') || (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) ) {
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let\'s See What We Have Here');
define('TABLE_HEADING_IMAGE', '');
....


Use a REAL TEXT editor - not MS-WORD/Notepad/EDIT.COM etc... They tend not to handle/format Unix files well and may ADD extra spaces/lines - which PHP does not like - often getting PARSE errors...

Use something like NoteTab (freeware) or Ultraedit or what I have been using lately - Code Builder's HTML Builder XP - It is quite good...


Good Luck
