Someone will correct me on this if I'm wrong, but if the output for this is to go to the screen (I didn't think about what it was supposed to do until later) you'd be better using echo instead of...

That usually means a syntax error of some sort.

Isn't the format for the print 'function':
print ( a string );
(Note the brackets).

And you've not got a paired ' in the last one.

And...

And formatting Sharron's cut-and-paste because she clearly isn't familiar with that function:

Why didn't you just save your GIF with the name 'oscommerce.gif' and overwrite the one on the server, rather then drop yourself into PHP at this level knowing what you do?

When I set it up, all I did was put my normal pop server names in.

But as I have said, I could never get the set up to work properly. Single pages were served fine, but as soon as I tried to call...

This is exactly the point I was making.

If I were you I'd forget it for now and stick with your web server. Or get some web space which allows PHP.

Yes, if you want to run them locally on your machine. You also need mySQL if you plan to use that.

And it isn't as easy as it sounds, and you may find some things don't work (sending form mail,...

You don't need the sourcecode.

Yes, but unless you have a server with PHP running on it you won't be able to see the pages.

Your webspace must have PHP capability (and most free ones don't). In that case you have to install...

You don't actually need any.

If your web server can handle PHP, all you need is a text editor and as long as you can upload files it will work.

I use this editor:

Unexpected T_String usually means syntax error somewhere ;)

And usually nowhere near the line number it reports :rolleyes:

I've no idea how you're going to use this code in your full script, but if you take out the ' in 'site's' it doesn't error any more.

If you want that character in your text strings you're going...

You can't use " inside the echo - you have to escape any occurence of " with \", so that line in the middle should be:

echo ("<a href=\"$link$title\">$title</a>");

Otherwise PHP thinks the...

So is it sorted now? You can see what you need to do?

Well, I assume that each incarnation of 'title' will have a different target url, so what do you think you will have to do for that...?

If we assume that 'title' is also the actual url as well as...

Something like:

echo("<a href=\"mylink.htm\">$title</a>");

(I haven't tested that so I can't guarantee it being typo-free. PHP is unforgiving ;))
