Unterminated String Constant?

Posted: Fri May 29, 2009 9:08 am

On my site, for reasons that probably only Murphy would understand I am getting the following two errors in IE.

"Unterminated String Constant"
Line 34
Char 93

No matter what page you go to, it shows up. Here is that general area in the index.php

Code:

$modpath = '';


define('MODULE_FILE', true);


$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = "modules.php";


$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT main_module from ".$prefix."_main"));


$name = $row['main_module'];


define('HOME_FILE', true);

Line 34 is the second to last line.

There is also a bunch of errors referencing line 53 char 3 in the index.php which is this: OBJECT REQUIRED

Code:

}


    $numrows = $db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_referer"));


    if($numrows>=$httprefmax) {


        $result2 = $db->sql_query("DELETE FROM ".$prefix."_referer");


    }

That one starts on line 53 with the }

So I presume something is referencing to these areas. Like Shout Box or Scrolling Forums or something?

The only problem though with that is that when I disable those two things, the error still shows up.

Is there any easy way to fix this problem without having to edit those lines in every file on my server?

It might help if we knew what software you are using as that code doesn't look familiar at all.
For the first one, try replacing it with this

Code:




$modpath = '';


define('MODULE_FILE', 'true');


$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = 'modules.php';


$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT main_module from ".$prefix."_main"));


$name = $row['main_module'];


define('HOME_FILE', 'true');

As for the second one, you shouldn't be using the referer module as it has known security issues up to and including phpNuke 8.0.

The error you refer to from IE does not relate to index.php. It is referring to the generating html. You need to view the source of the page to try and figure it out. It sounds like it may be theme related. Try switching themes and see if the error goes away. When switching themes the line number of the error may change.

I agree with Palbin, but it would be good to know for sure. Is this showing up as a javascript error? i suspect that it is.
