Parse error: syntax error help

[RonTal]

I am a complete noobie... Hopefully you can help me figure out what I am doing wrong. I am trying to install a live chat feature (webim) to my online store. I created a new info box (which I have done many times before), and pasted the code I got, but I get the following error:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/nook/public_html/templates/default/boxes/custom.php on line 39

 

Here is line 39:

'text'  => '<!-- webim button --><a href="/webim/client.php?locale=en" target="_blank" onclick="if(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('opera') != -1

 

And here is the entire code:

'text'  => '<!-- webim button --><a href="/webim/client.php?locale=en" target="_blank" onclick="if(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf(\'opera\') != -1

 

try this instead

 

the problem is, you OPEN your string with ', therefore you can't use it INSIDE your string, without escaping it with a \ before it

[RonTal]

Thanks Russell but unfortunately it didn't work :-(

I now get this message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/nook/public_html/templates/default/boxes/custom.php on line 39

[Dathremar]

It is the same thing again. You tend to use singe quotes inside a quoted statement.

 

If You quote something with ' then all the ' used inside should be escaped, like Russel said.

So put \ in front of the ' that are inside you command.

[RonTal]

Is this correct then? It didn't work either. I just copied and pasted the code I got for the live chat button and pasted it in between the two ' I had. Any idea?

 

 

'text'  => '<!-- webim button --><a href="/webim/client.php?locale=en" target="_blank" onclick="if(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf(\'opera\') != -1 && window.event.preventDefault) window.event.preventDefault();this.newWindow = window.open(\'/webim/client.php?locale=en&url='+escape(document.location.href)+\'&referrer=\'+escape(document.referrer), \'webim\', \'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,status=1,menubar=0,width=640,height=480,resizable=1\');this.newWindow.focus();this.newWindow.opener=window;return false;"><img src="/webim/button.php?image=webim&lang=en" border="0" width="163" height="61" alt=""/></a><!-- / webim button -->'

                              );

[Dathremar]

try this:

 

'text'  => '<!-- webim button --><a href="/webim/client.php?locale=en" target="_blank" onclick="if(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf(\'opera\') != -1 && window.event.preventDefault) window.event.preventDefault();this.newWindow = window.open(\'/webim/client.php?locale=en&url=\'+escape(document.location.href)+\'&referrer=\'+escape(document.referrer), \'webim\', \'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,status=1,menubar=0,width=640,height=480,resizable=1\');this.newWindow.focus();this.newWindow.opener=window;return false;"><img src="/webim/button.php?image=webim&lang=en" border="0" width="163" height="61" alt=""/></a><!-- / webim button -->'

                              );

 

And can You tell us what the error says?

Install FireBug in Firefox it helps for solving errors

[RonTal]

It worked!!! You are a genius! Thank you so so much!!!
