uploading and downloading files

hi,

how come when i download a file and open it with note pad when i upload it back to my website the file doesnt work properly, i have tried this many times
but when i upload it back my website doesnt work,

thanks for any help you can give

notepad shouldn't be adding anything like dreamweaver, word, or frontpage so you might be accidentally changing something in the format. Make sure you have opening and closing characters () {} [] '' (double single quote) and that you haven't added a return after the last ?>

Make sure WordWrap isn't checked ... :eek:

thanks for that but if thats the case can you tell me if anything is wrong with this code:-

" my website doesnt work " ... isn't exactly a descriptive indication of what's happening.

Can you elaborate a bit?

Maybe you need the debug tool in step 2a of this article: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=82

yeah when you try to access my site it says:-

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_check_url_get_terms() in /homepages/8/d229164676/htdocs/index.php on line 31

i cant see anything wrong with line 31 but the site was working perfectly
until i uploaded the file back the file was includes/lanuages/english/index.php

Did you mistakenly copy the /includes/languages/english/index.php file overtop of the /index.php file?
You have to make sure you put things in the appropriate folder structure.

hi everybody,

just to a big thanks to everbody who helped me with this matter
i had uploaded the file to the wrong place but now moved it and
everthing is running fine.

thanks again,
