Hi there,
can anyone tell me why I am getting this error message after installing/adding a new language? With the default english I do not have any issues, only after adding and enabling other languages and switching between pages. Thanks in advance!
PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant php - assumed 'php' in /home/effect/public_html/catalog/view/theme/theme208/template/module/featured.tpl
Hi istyfu,
usually that error occurs when someone uses a variable without using a $ sign in front of it. PHP is smart enough to assume that it is a variable so it can keep moving.
Check that tpl file for a 'php' somewhere being used like a variable.

PHP variables use the dollar sign ($) in front of the variable name:
Example: the variable "template" will be "$template"
Look in your "featured.tpl" file for a missing $ sign.
The error message gives you the location and should also give you the line number of the error.

I wonder if the <? characters were accidentally edited out of the php open tag, leaving just "php" ? If the error message includes a line number, please post the contents of that file around that line (say 5 before and 5 after).

I would suggest to contact the developer of the custom theme to resolved this issue. If the developer does not respond after sometime, you can always request a quote from the Commercial Support section of the forum.jetmosquitoe wrote:I switched to default OC theme, and checked.

Here, what technical support of the theme developer have answered:
PHP Notices does not effect your site correct work. Navigate to System -> Settings -> Edit -> Server -> Display Errors -> No.
It is set No already Looks like the question is fixed.
After some time the log file will have so big size that the admin menu with error log will open because it will be too heavy I had to clear it manually recently because of this.

I had to clear it manually recently because of this.That is correct. The error logs may be overloaded after a certain size as it may no longer be able to write on it unless manually cleared from the admin-end or by FTP / File manager's host console.jetmosquitoe wrote:Here, what technical support of the theme developer have answered:

Overall your theme developer doesn't seem very good..... There may be other issues, in fact I would be there are, but as a HACK to "fix" this issue:
change:
to
But as stated this is a hack and I wouldn't recommend to keep patching but I would recommend get support from the developer because to me their answer is bogus (and I hope you didn't pay for the theme).

change:
Code: Select all
line 408: <a href="<?php echo $product['href']; ?>" class="button details btn_view"><span><?php echo $button_details; ?></span></a>
Code: Select all
line 408: <a href="<?php echo $product['href']; ?>" class="button details btn_view"><span><?php if (isset($button_details)) { echo $button_details; } ?></span></a>

The offered hack did not work. But I decided to live with it ) it is OK for me at the moment, as long as it doesn't affect operation of the shop. Thank you so much for your help!
theme developers' support is currently doing smth with that error. I will try your offer a bit later, and return here with comments. Thank you )Cue4cheap wrote:Try the one I changed it to in the post above.
