Here is my Link page http://www.leachholdingsltd.com/whimsicallawnandgardencenter/links.php I am trying to get the back link spider in the text description area. But every time I end up with syntax errors on line 21 extra... or it is at top of page above header. I would appreciate any help thanks.

P. S. I should probably mention this is in oscommerce.

this was output before your html:

Error processing request<input type='hidden' name='userkey' value='AL-3696LE-WA'>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

im not familiar with the page links.php in oscommerce
this is the top part of contact_us.php:

require('includes/application_top.php');

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_CONTACT_US);

$error = false;
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'send')) {
$name = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['name']);
$email_address = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['email']);
$enquiry = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['enquiry']);

if (tep_validate_email($email_address)) {
tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $enquiry, $name, $email_address);

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, 'action=success'));
} else {
$error = true;

$messageStack->add('contact', ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_CHECK_ERROR);
}
}

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US));
?>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
could you post the code up to the doctype output from links.php please (the doctype output should be the first thing output)

There are two index files in oscommerce

This is index.php in the top catalog directory:

require('includes/application_top.php');

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_LINKS);

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS));

?>

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

This is index.php in the includes/english/ directory:

i didnt ask about the index page you posted your question about the link.php page (by the way that was a broken link in your post) i dont need the whole page's code just the top part up to where i said before.

it is most likely file public_html/whimsicallawnandgardencenter/links.php (if leachholdingsltd.com is your primary domain)

Those are the links page I just type wrong name. Sorry.:D

P. S. If I put their code in first links page, it messes up the entire right side boxes. If I put in second links page it appears at top of page.

i see links now but they are being output from the same place. did you change some code? a couple things look wrong to me.

at first i would think this line:

<td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></td>
should be:

<td class="main"><?php require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_LINKS);?></td>
i dont think thats right however as these are defined in that file:

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Links');
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Links');
define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '');

and the first have been echoed already and the TEXT_INFORMATION is supposed to be there?

so then i notice TEXT_INFORMATION has the value of '' and so it truly does output nothing something is not in the right place.

i think there should be a pair of curly brackets for this condition:

if(curl_error($ch))

but im not positive where the ending bracket belongs

i went to the web site for backlinkspider and started the sign up process to get the directions...

remove the code you placed in the includes/english/ directory:

// # THE FOLLOWING BLOCK IS USED TO RETRIEVE AND DISPLAY LINK INFORMATION.
// # PLACE THIS ENTIRE BLOCK IN THE AREA YOU WANT THE DATA TO BE DISPLAYED.

// # BackLinkSpider user key:
$UserKey ="AL-3696LE-WA";

// # MODIFY THE VARIABLES BELOW:

// # The following variable defines how many links to display per page
$LinksPerPage = "25";

// # The following variable defines how many columns are used to display categories
$CategoryColumns = "2";

// # The following variable defines whether links are opened in a new window
// # (1 = Yes, 0 = No)
$OpenInNewWindow = "0";

// # DO NOT MODIFY ANYTHING ELSE BELOW THIS LINE!
// ----------------------------------------------

$QueryString = "script=php";
$QueryString .= "&UserKey=" .urlencode($UserKey);
$QueryString .= "&CategoryColumns=" .urlencode($CategoryColumns);
$QueryString .= "&LinksPerPage=" .urlencode($LinksPerPage);
$QueryString .= "&OpenInNewWindow=" .urlencode($OpenInNewWindow);
$QueryString .= "&siteid=6166" ;

foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
$value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
$QueryString .= "&$key=$value";
}

// congfigure our headers
if(intval(ini_get('allow_url_fopen')) && function_exists('readfile')) {
if(!@readfile("http://www.backlinkspider.com/generate.links.php?".$QueryString)) {
echo "Error processing request";
}
}
elseif(intval(ini_get('allow_url_fopen')) && function_exists('file')) {
if(!($content = @file("http://www.backlinkspider.com/generate.links.php?".$QueryString))) {
echo "Error processing request";
}
else {
echo @join('', $content);
}
}
elseif(function_exists('curl_init')) {
$ch = curl_init ("http://www.backlinkspider.com/generate.links.php?".$QueryString);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec ($ch);

if(curl_error($ch))
echo "Error processing request";

curl_close ($ch);
}
else {
echo "Your web hosting provider has disabled all functions for handling remote pages pages and as a result the BackLinkSpider software will not function on your web site.";
}
echo "<input type='hidden' name='userkey' value='".$UserKey."'>";
replace <?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?>

from here:

<td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></td>
in your main links.php file with the code you just removed from the other file

wow that was rough. let me know if you need me to start over. i can say that over again step by step...

open both files in file manager,
highlight,
cut,
save changes,
highlight,
paste,
save changes.
