can any one point what's wrong. Thanks in advance.

You need to re-upload that file, as it's incomplete. It seems your FTP program must have mangled the file during initial upload.

Thanks, Dr Byte. Where can I get the original file from? I do not have a copy.

The cart was operating okay until recently. And we did not touch the sessions.php file.

Then ask your hosting company what's been happening on the server.
What's the date/time stamp on that file?
What version of Zen Cart are you using?

Um ... you should *ALWAYS* have backups of the files that are on your server. As well as backups of your site's database content.
You can backup the database using this FAQ: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=103
You can backup your files using your FTP program to copy everything from the server to your PC.
Might be wise to burn backups to CD periodically.


You can get original files for every released version of Zen Cart here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=83781

Thanks, Dr Byte. I will check with the the hosting company on this and do the necessary backup...
