Thanks

I should give you more information. I am trying to call an index php file to open a small shopping cart in the same directory as my wordpress installation. I want the cart to open in the wordpress page, but I can’t call it.

I know what the above message was about…. the ‘:’ was in the http address I used.

Any ideas? I don’t know if it is the plugin, my incorrect directory address or the shopping cart isn’t compatible with the page (it physically fits due to the style being adequate).

Ok, thanks

I found your article after a good search on Google for problems with php and wordpress.

I am having problems, my wordpress is 2.7 and I’m using this php plugin because php_exec wouldn’t install.

Now… when I start with a ‘php include’ it is exactly like your four lines of error messages. So I tried your ABSPATH solution and I now get this different message……

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home/mind1stu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/phpexec.php(61) : eval()’d code on line 3

I will look up this error tonight and let you know how I get on. But, I have never touched php before so it is all a little scary.

Take care,

Brian
