Parse Error Shopping Cart

[cagui2254]

I tried to modify something and I guess I did something wrong, although I have no idea since I'm new to this and don't know programming.

I was trying to add text to the define TEXT INFORMATION line.

Do not use apostrophes in your text.

ie:
define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'the text in here must not contain apostrophes else the start/end apostrophes will not match');

Do not use apostrophes in your text.

ie:
define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'the text in here must not contain apostrophes else the start/end apostrophes will not match');

I removed the apostrophes from the text I inserted and still nothing =(.

Nevermind, I read wrong what you said. Thank you soooooo much for your help. It works now.

Thanks again

Or, you can escape the apostrophe with the backslash ( \ ) such as:

define('TEXT_INFORMATION','You can add items to your shopping cart by either using our search engine to find the item(s) that you wish to purchase or by browsing through our categories and/or our website. Once you find an item(s) you\'d like to buy, simply hit the "BUY NOW" button closest to the item(s) you are interested in to add the selected item(s) to your shopping cart. At this point, you can change the quantity of items you\'d like to order, delete an item, empty the shopping cart, continue shopping, or proceed to check out.');
