You are quite correct. Sorry about that. This particular file is from the download "Add Customers from Admin" contribution. No need to look for and modify this file unless you have that contribution installed.

Thanks - this thread helped me out too.

Now I'm wondering where to find the email that is sent when a person makes an order... it seems like it would be one of the checkout_*.php files but I'm not 'seeing it'... a pointer would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I am not sure if this is the tread to post this, but I will give it a try. I am trying to change the text of the welcome email that is sent out. But when I try to add more than one sentence in the section listed below, the page does not show up. So I am wondering what is wrong with my coding that is causing the checkout page after account creation not show up. I am editing the includes/languages/english/create_account.php file.

This coding works:

define('EMAIL_TEXT', 'We hope you enjoy our product selection as much as we do.' . "\n\n" . 'With your account, you can now take part in the <strong>various services</strong> it has to offer you. Some of these services include:' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Permanent Cart</strong> - Any products added to your online cart remain there until you remove them, or check them out.' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Order History</strong> - View your history of purchases that you have made and gain access to your downloads.' . "\n\n" ); 

This does not work:

define('EMAIL_TEXT', 'We hope you enjoy our product selection as much as we do.<br/><br/>We hope you enjoy our product selection as much as we do.  We designed our company in an effort to make looking good affordable to everyone, we don't think you should have to spend an arm and a leg to be in style.  Browse our items and if you don't see what you are looking for contact us at (email address).' . "\n\n" . 'With your account, you can now take part in the <strong>various services</strong> it has to offer you. Some of these services include:' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Permanent Cart</strong> - Any products added to your online cart remain there until you remove them, or check them out.' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Order History</strong> - View your history of purchases that you have made and gain access to your downloads.' . "\n\n" ); 

Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong? Thanks!

You're mixing apostrophes into your text, thus causing syntax errors.
