Getting errors after doing XSS patch

[NWCE]

Hi,

I am following the instrctions for the post for the XSS protection patch:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=142927

I have inserted the new code into the index.php file and I received this error message when logging into my admin panel:
(calling admin file, admin in this post, but I have previously renamed it)

Warning: require(DIR_WS_INCLUDESheader.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in .../public_html/admin/index.php on line 1

Warning: require(DIR_WS_INCLUDESheader.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in .../public_html/admin/index.php on line 1

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DIR_WS_INCLUDESheader.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in .../public_html/admin/index.php on line 1

I have obviously done something wrong! I have double and triple checked that I am inserting the code into the correct line, and this is all fine.

Also when following the patch recommendations for the customer.php, I also get an error when searching my customers in the admin panel.

Any ideas what I have done wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Hmmm ... since it's talking about an error on "line 1", that suggests that you're using a text editor that isn't properly preserving line-breaks. Thus, PHP is being forced to see all the instructions on one line ... which will cause you problems.

This is very common when using the crappy browser-based file-edit tools offered by hosting companies, instead of using the safer approach of downloading the file via FTP, using a reliable text editor, and re-uploading the updated file back to the server.

If you've not got a reliable text editor, I suggest Notepad++: http://notepad-plus.sf.net

You'll want to redo the edits, preferably starting from good clean copies of those files from before you touched them.

Thank you so much for your response, Dr Byte.

I am sure that is what is happening now that you've explained it. I'll go try it again using a proper php editor program.

Thanks again for your help!
