After doing the required edits to the index.php file for vB3 Gold's AdminCP while installing HTL, I'm getting an error. Whenever I try to access the AdminCP, I get this error:


Parse error: parse error in /home/.rafferty/palmforu/palmforums.org/forums/admincp/index.php on line 941

I've checked and doublechecked and triplechecked my editing. I know it's the HTL editing that's causing this as I've restored the original index.php (which worked), and re-edited another copy of the same thing, then uploaded it and it stopped working again.

What do you think went wrong?

What's your line 941 ?

What's your line 941 ? According to Word:
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['avatar_storage_type'],

You're doing your editing in Word ??

Okay, if so, STOP THAT. That will not work. Neither will WordPad work. Use Notepad, Editplus or UltraEdit to apply your file modifications.

I strongly advice against using notepad because it has serious linewrapping issues. WordPad is a mature solution to notepad. But I prefer to advice UltraEdit or EditPlus as advanced and the right tools for any file modification.

If you modify under linux, I advice to use pico with the -w switch or vi.

WordPad has font issues, as it's a RichText editor - that poses incredible risks when editing PHP (plaintext / puretext) files. Notepad doesn't, though I can imagine that linewrapping isn't too good on it.

That basically leaves you with EditPlus or UltraEdit - tools MADE for editing PHP files (among other types).

Ok. I've never had any problems with Word in editing my code, but I'll stop using it now ;).

Are there any free PHP editors? I'm only a poor 15 year old ;).

You may find this handy for future reference.. :)

Developers Pad is a free PHP editor, and is what I generally use.

Thanks. I'll reedit the index.php file in admincp and see if that fixes it.

What a difference a real PHP editor makes ;). Thanks guys :D.

Glad you got it working :)

I like to live on the edge, i edit on the fly with Cute HTML, came with CuteFTP XP 5. :)

Good thing I back up files before i edit. heh.
