If you do a search on the error message either in the tutorials/FAQs, Wiki or the forum ... you will discover a wealth of information about the typical php error that results from space(s) or blank line(s) before or after the opening php tag, <?php or after the closing php tag ?> ...

If you were to edit the file listed in the error message and remove the space(s) or blank line(s) after the closing php tag ?> in the error message ... this would correct the problem ...

That's something wrong with your includes/functions/functions_general.php file at around about line 44. Can you post the code at this line and a 4-5 lines either side of it?

okay i am new to all of this, so please bear with me;)

okay here goes

while (strstr($url, '&amp;&amp;')) $url = str_replace('&amp;&amp;', '&amp;', $url);
// header locates should not have the &amp; in the address it breaks things
while (strstr($url, '&amp;')) $url = str_replace('&amp;', '&', $url);

header('Location: ' . $url);

zen_exit();
}

/**
* Parse the data used in the html tags to ensure the tags will not break.

* @param string The string to be parsed

sorry took from line 40

Not a problem. I'm afraid I'm leading you astray. The code you posted from functions_general looks fine, but there shouldn't be 117 lines in your index.php suggesting that it has developed a problem.

Two solutions: either upload a fresh copy, or if that doesn't work, goto the ?> at the end. Place you curser immediately after it, then press delete a few times to get rid of any extra hidden characters and save it.

As Ajeh mentioned, here's an FAQ explaining how to respond to that error message:
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=87

As kuroi mentioned, your file might be bad.
Zen Cart files should not be double-spaced. Sometimes fantastico installations leave the files mucked-up.
If yours is double-spaced, you should obtain a copy of the original by downloading the Zen Cart master zip file, and extracting a fresh copy of your file from it.
