Tried to remove "Congratulations!..." and the whole store disappeared on me! HELP!

[Czar]

HELP!

I thought I was starting to get the hang of this stuff after almost eight months of banging away on the store...

I upgraded from 150 to 151 just before the New Year. All went well, but lost the main page content, and the header... no biggie. So I slapped a note of explanation on the main page, did a partial fix on the header, and went on vacation.

Tonight I tried to remove the "Congratulations!..." from the top of the main page that appeared with the 151 upgrade, and I goofed somewhere badly, as my whole store has disappeared. I mean it is GONE.

I have no idea what to even begin doing to fix this one...

Oh... when I upgraded to 151, the system asked if I wanted to save the backup to the server. I said "yes", but sure can't find it now.

look in your log folder for error logs, what is the most recent one, post it here please. Did you by chance remove the ' ' when removing Congratulations...?

Left the beginning and terminal ' symbols, was very careful to do that, but had two spaces inserted between them so I wouldn't confuse them with a " symbol later on.

Where do I find the error logs?

In the root of your hosting, usually publicHTML.

My text editor doesn't count lines, and getting accurately up to line 574 will be trying. What is a "T-STRING" and will it stand out for any reason?

Copy of includes/languages/english.php is attachedenglish.zip

change

  define('EMPTY_CART_TEXT_NO_QUOTE', 'We're Sorry! Your session has expired ... Please update your shopping cart for Shipping Quote ...'); 

to

  define('EMPTY_CART_TEXT_NO_QUOTE', 'We\'re Sorry! Your session has expired ... Please update your shopping cart for Shipping Quote ...'); 

you used a ' in the text, this should be preceded by a \ or php thinks the function is closed

And you really should get yourselves a better editor like notepad++

Nice one :-)

[Design75]

Nice one :-)

thanks, but after a while you start to see patterns in these kind of errors. Especially if you have made them yourselves . Oh and notepad++ is a great help to, because it recognises the error and you can see a different/wrong colouring of the code.
for notepad++

It is really amazing how one single keystroke can wipe out a whole store. I'm sure that there are hundreds if not thousands of us users who know just enough about PHP to be really dangerous, and it keeps you pros on your toes quite a bit.

A million thanks, and a Happy New Year to all!
