Guess whats wrong with this code.... (footer links)

[customk1]

ok, so im trying to make the "copyright 2009" in the footer actually link to my copyright page...

here is the original code:

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright © ' . 
date('Y') . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT)
 . '" target="_blank">' . STORE_NAME . '</a>. Powered by 
<a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen 
Cart</a>');

heres what i "thought" it should be, but ive got a ' or a ? or a @#$%#$%(%#@ in the wrong place i guess, because when i make a change and reload page, it is blank....

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY',<a href="http://customk9design.com/catalogzen
/index.php?main_page=page&id=1">Copyright</a> '&copy;
 ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT)
 . '" target="_blank">' . STORE_NAME . '</a>. Powered by 
<a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a>');

You forgot to move the ' from in front of &copy to the start of your defined content...

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', '<a href="http://customk9design.com/catalogzen
/index.php?main_page=page&id=1">Copyright</a>&copy;
 ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT)
 . '" target="_blank">' . STORE_NAME . '</a>. Powered by

Try copying and pasting this:

You are using a "plain text editor" for this ? correct??

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY',<a href="http://customk9design.com/catalogzen/index.php?main_page=page&id=1">Copyright</a>  &copy; ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) .

buyip, thanks for your prompt reply...
i figured there was a wayward ' somewhere... unfortunately, i know just enough at this point to get in trouble, when it comes to writing scripts and code..

but your version worked just fine!

thanks kobra also for replying so quick!
