hi

i am a stay at home mum so i have absolutely zilch knowledge of anything to do with web design code etc... however i have managed to make a half decent cubecart store for my business.

i have just added a mod to change the order of my categories which works perfectly - BUT i now get this error on all of my category pages:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in.....includes/content/viewCat.inc.php on line 1

i have cross referenced existing page with the back up i made before adding the mod but i cannot find any difference in the first 20 lines and i cant see any unclosed brackets etc..

*/if (eregi(".inc.php",$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']) ¦¦ eregi(".inc.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {echo "<html>\r\n<head>\r\n<title>Forbidden 403</title>\r\n</head>\r\n<body><h3>Forbidden 403</h3>\r\nThe document you are requesting is forbidden.\r\n</body>\r\n</html>";exit;}if(isset($_GET['page'])){$page = treatGet($_GET['page']);} else {$page = 0;}$view_cat = new XTemplate ("skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/content/viewCat.tpl");////////////////////////// BUILD SUB CATEGORIES////////if(isset($_GET['catId'])) {$_GET['catId'] = treatGet($_GET['catId']);// build query$query = "SELECT * FROM ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_category WHERE cat_father_id = ".$db->mySQLSafe($_GET['catId'])."

before this is just the standard cubecart info and copyright bits - would the error be in there?

thanks in advance for any help

Welcome to WebmasterWorld semolinapilchard,

is that the contents of viewCat.inc.php?

I am guessing the error might be trickling through to it.

what is the actual script that is including that file?
What are the few lines before the include statement?

What is on line 1 in the includes/content/viewCat.inc.php file?
Or is that the code that you posted?

What is the filename of the page where that code is coming from?

As you have an included file and the error is on that included file. So if the code you have posted is not in that included file then there is no error with the code you have posted.

It looks like you have missed a few closing brackets at the end of the script. Infact four closing brackets if I am not mistaken.

Here is the last few lines of the code you have with the brackets: 


if(isset($_GET['catId']) && $_GET['catId']>0 && $subCategories == TRUE) { 
// loop results 
for ($i=0; $i<count($subCategories); $i++){ 
if(is_array($resultsForeign)){ 
for ($k=0; $k<count($resultsForeign); $k++){ 
if($resultsForeign[$k]['cat_id'] == $subCategories[$i]['cat_id']){ 
$subCategories[$i]['cat_name'] = $resultsForeign[$k]['cat_name'];  
} 
} 
} 
}

filename is: home/xvuqvuh/public_html/store/includes/content/viewCat.inc.php

and those lines of code are the first lines from that file.

i will go and see if putting in those brackets helps

thanks habtom

the brackets are in the code i didnt copy enough - with it saying line 1 i thought it would be nearer the top so havent given all of the code.

nobody can see any of my products as the error comes up when anyone clicks on any of the cats!

does that file actually look like that? with no returns in it?

or was that a pasting issue?

if it actually looks like that then you need to add carriage returns and re save it, then see if it works

you need to check the closing braces at the end, I think I added the right amount

you also want to make sure nothing else from the end of that file was missed in all the pasting

i have spaced it all and closed up all brackets and now it says error on line 27

could it be a different file altogether that has error than one showing?

there is more but thought error would be in top bit
