Small Parse Error Issue - Pls Any Help Appreciated

[408inc]

Here is the error I get when I try and access my cscart on my site:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /home/theinc/public_html/shop/config.php on line 88

Here is the code from line 84 to 94:

define('CORE_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'core' . DS);
define('CLASSES_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'classes' . DS);
define('ADDONS_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'addons' . DS);
define('SKINS_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'skins' . DS);
define('COMMON_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'include'../../../DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ . DS . 'common' . DS);
define('ADMIN_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'include'../../../DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ . DS . 'admin' . DS);
define('TARGETS_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'targets'.DS);
define('CUSTOMER_DIR', CSCART_DIR .DS. 'include'../../../DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ .DS. 'customer' .DS);
define('PARTNER_DIR', CSCART_DIR .DS. 'include'../../../DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ .DS. 'partner' .DS);
define('PAYMENT_FILES_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'payments' . DS);
define('SHIPPING_FILES_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'shippings' . DS);

The problem line apparently is the one I put in bold, it looks fine to me like there is no extra '.' but I'm not to hip to php. I was hoping for some help.

Thanks!

Try that with syntax highlighting:

define('CORE_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'core' . DS);
define('CLASSES_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'classes' . DS);
define('ADDONS_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'addons' . DS);
define('SKINS_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'skins' . DS);
define('COMMON_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'include'../../../DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ . DS . 'common' . DS);
define('ADMIN_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'include'../../../DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ . DS . 'admin' . DS);
define('TARGETS_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'targets'.DS);
define('CUSTOMER_DIR', CSCART_DIR .DS. 'include'../../../DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ .DS. 'customer' .DS);
define('PARTNER_DIR', CSCART_DIR .DS. 'include'../../../DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ .DS. 'partner' .DS);
define('PAYMENT_FILES_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'payments' . DS);
define('SHIPPING_FILES_DIR', CSCART_DIR . DS . 'shippings' . DS);

I can see some strings that aren't quoted. (incidentally, what's with the 16bit DOS names?).

They still existed on XP. Don't know about Vista or 7, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're still valid. As such, whenever a name is (was?) longer than 8+3 or contained characters disallowed in MS-DOS filenames there were two identifiers mapping to the same directory or file.
And if you don't use the DOS style name you will need to put quotes around the path since it contains ws: "Documents and Settings".

Oh, I know they still exist, and they do work; I was just wondering why they were being used here.

Quotes are needed anyway because it's meant to be in a string 🙂

And the need for literal quotes around the path isn't necessary unless you're executing some shell commands and using those constants.
