Hi DrByte,
Sorry to be a pain but I still don't get it?? The template I'm using is Surfshop.

Here's the file.
Line 72 is in red

No, you're reading the error message backwards.

Start at the beginning. The error tells you that it's trying to include/require a certain file. Then it tells you the file is not found. Then it tells you what line of what file *asked* for it to load the first file.

The file at the end of the error message is where the problem *occurs*, but not *what* the problem is. The *first* filename is *what* the problem is. In your case, english.php is missing.

Are you saying I need to change this
include_once(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '.php');
to
include_once(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . 'english.php');

Do you think this could be the problem of me being not able to add/update product descriptions

Thanks for your help. I'm finding it difficult to wrap my head around this.

Cheers,

Maxy

include_once(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '.php');
to
[COLOR=Red]include_once(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . 'english.php');

No. I'm saying that the error message you quoted is telling you that the include_once() line is LOOKING FOR the /includes/languages/english.php file on your server, but when it's going out to find it, it's not found.
Nothing wrong with the software code. You just have a missing file, which you'll need to put back onto the server.
Or, maybe it's still a permissions problem, and it can't find the file because permissions are set so low (ie: 000 or something bizarre) such that it can't even see the file, let alone try to open it.

No idea.
Usually if english.php is missing you'll see all kinds of TEXT_BLAHBLAH and ENTRY_SOMETHING_BLAH etc stuff on the screen.

That's strange because english.php is there and the permissions are 644.

No I'm not getting that I just can't update my product descriptions. any text that has ; or . or : or ' etc after it does not stick
