Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

[SSB]

A proverbial newbie here. I have successfullymanaged to get my Zen Cart functioning, but have a problem I have searched everywhere for,(Forums and Wiki) and I can't find out where I have gone wrong.
The error message is as follows: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/librsco/public_html/zen-cart-full/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 33

The file is as follows:<?php

I have a very basic understanding of what I am doing, I thought I had followed all the rules exactly, but I can't for the life of me, solve this one. Is there anyone who can help?
Many thanks in anticipation.

Looks like this line may be causing woe... define('TEXT_BUY', 'Buy 1 \'');

There is an extra quote mark( ' ...highlighted in red) .


Also, this line is suspect... define('HEADING_TITLE', '; We have a great range of secondhand books, music & collectibles.');

The part hightlighted in red is another error in the making.

[SSB]

Thanks Sketchy,
I have fixed both your suggestions, but I am still getting the same response. I have doubled checked for any other errors like that and can't see any.
Thanks for your reply.
SSB

[Sketchy]

Okay, I've downloaded yours and I'm using WinMerge....

So, far... I'm wrong with the line... define('TEXT_BUY', 'Buy 1 \'');
It's supposed to be that way apparently, sorry.

Oh... as for the second one, it should be... define('HEADING_TITLE', 'We have a great range of secondhand books, music & collectibles.');

`Only that extra semi-colon needs omitting. Sorry not to be clear on that.

I'll see what else I can come up with.

[SSB]

OK Sketchy, I have fixed both of those. Still no joy, the exact same message is coming up.

I appreciate your time.

If all else fails, back up the file and omit your custom front page text... I'm not sure of the nature of the CSS tags in there, I've never attempted anything like that into the index.php . But, I'm suspicious that those may be the main root of the error.

[SSB]

Will do, Sketchy, many thanks for your help. I will post back when I discover the problem. Many thanks for your time.

OK Sketchy, I took all of my added text out and now it works fine. Obviously something wrong with my text editing!!
I will know in the future to go back and do exactly as you said. Many, many thanks for your help.
See you later.

Store stamps and previous owner's details

The ' in owner's should be ESCaped with a \ like this: owner\'s

[Sketchy]

You're welcome.

I've been wasting your time though. Sheesh... I'm so dense sometimes. All you have to do is remove the possessive form of "owner's" in your custom text. Sorry, about the wild goose chase. PHP doesn't like those and I should know better, but now you know as well.

..."previous owner details on front" That will work.

Edit: Yeah, what Dr. Byte said.
