// eof --- caused by Google Checkout addon

really weird, but on my checkout_payment page
at the very top iv got // EOF
now iv looked through several files and cannot find where this // EOF is coming from.

<body id="checkoutpaymentBody">
[B]// EOF[/B]
<title>Step 2 of 3 - Payment Information : Tools-Draper, power tools: hand tools: garden tools: air tools: air hose: king ######## tools: pop met bearings</title>
<meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<meta content="Draper Sealey tools, diy tools, tool, power tools, hand tools, drills, saws, silverline, draper, draper tools, tools-draper, draper power tools, expert, draper expert Step 2 of 3 - Payment Information" name="keywords">

this is the code drawn from firefox web developer
this eof is coming before anything else...but from what file!!!
iv used "developer toolkit" to try and find it but after removing from files i thought would affect this its still there :S

Re: // eof --- caused by Google Checkout addon

It's probably in an extraneous file you've got on your server, such as a backup file that shouldn't have been left online. Classic example would be in the /includes/modules/pages/ folders where the header_php.php files should NOT be renamed as header_php_old.php etc, else they'll still be loaded. If you "must" rename a file as a backup/copy, DO NOT leave a ".php" extension on the filename, regardless which folder it's in.

Further, when did this start happening? That should help you sort out what you were changing back then.

Next step is to compare your server's files with a clean set of files from when the extraneous stuff didn't appear. http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_-_Diagnosing_Obscure_Issues

Also, you seem to be re-posting the same issue in yet another thread ... why are you creating multiple discussions on the same issue?

by any chance, you dont happen to have a list of files which are called when the "checkout_payment" page is loaded?
this way i can check these files and locations for duplicates???

Re: // eof --- caused by Google Checkout addon

The cause is the use of a PHP comment in an HTML block. Search under Tools >> Developers Toolkit for // eof

Re: // eof --- caused by Google Checkout addon

For your login page, I would say it has something to do with your Google Checkout. Reason being is the // EOF appears just before it starts and noticed you have an ending comment but no beginning one?

Where is the;

Also, seems you are using a Shared SSL Cert or one not Dedicated to your Domain name and/or IP address. This will cause Warnings to appear in every Browser... not good.

yeah i know about the shared ssl, its currently there from the fresh install(it comes with the install)
i will be purchasing a proper ssl cert..
and yes it seems Google Checkout was causing the problem, i seem*** to have resolved this problem now haha! thank god!
i had to compare each file that google checkout uses with original file compared to hosted file
i then found 2 files had // EOF at the bottom of the php file...removed and solved..afaik :D
