What you means extra spaces?
What software you are using?
When it happen, as soon as saving your file?

After the last ?> in the code, there is extra "space" like as if you used the space bar or tabbed over at the end of the script. I go in and delete it so that the cursor ends like so ?>| and it keeps coming back.

I've used my CPanel, Notepad, and a text editor called PHPad or something like that, and none of them keep that space from adding on at the end. It is creating conflict between two files that feed together with one another, and causing error messages in my shopping cart. I open the file, remove the space and either save, or upload, and then it is there AGAIN.

Thanks for any help!

I don't see how the spaces in the code may affecting the output, and how it may conflict between two files.
Can you email the code? or post it here if not too long.

It's 2 files from zen-cart that are interfering with one another. The zen-cart writers say it's the space at the end problem causing the conflict. Apparently it's common in these two files.

The error message says:

I appreciate any help if you can find something else causing a problem in this file! I'm banging my head against the wall here!

Kim

It was a veeeeeerrrrrry long script in one file! This may be the reason why you couldn't find the problem... and it is even harder for me :!:. I would suggest you to split thenm into smaller files and test them individually.

The early part of the script is mainly to identify a user and I don't think that make anything to the error. The middel part of it dealing with products, err... not quite sure any error there. The final part it seem you are dealing with the data input by user and you are using many str_replace script. I wonder this is where the error was. For example you replace something with ' '.

Not sure why you program it so complex (even the date). You can get one online, such osCommerce, and modify to suit your application. Anyway, still suggest you to break it into few smaller files.

Good luck.
