Sounds like you missed a ; off the end of a line. Post in here the two lines you added to english.php and 4 lines either side of it.

Hi Carbonize,
Thanks, this is my script:

$LANG["ErrorPost8"]  = "Sorry! We have flood-control activated. Please try again after a period of time elapses!";
$LANG["ErrorPost9"]  = "Your IP adress is banned!";
$LANG["ErrorPost10"] = "Your message contains some invalid words. Please correct it and re-submit.";
$LANG["ErrorPost11"] = "You forgot to fill in the Comment field. Please correct it and re-submit.";
$LANG["ErrorPost12"] = "You forgot to fill in the Human Verification field. Please correct it and re-submit.";
$LANG["ErrorPost13"] = "The Human verification answer you supplied is wrong. Please correct it and re-submit.";
$LANG["PassMess1"] = "Please enter a valid username and password:";
$LANG["PassMess2"] = "Invalid username or password. Please try again.";
$LANG["PassMess3"] = "Sorry, but the password you entered was not correct.";

# Days
$weekday[0] = "Sunday";

looks ok to me, but then I know nothing!!!!!

Yup that works brilliantly!
It was as I suspected obviously all my fault, though quite why it was cutting off the last few lines I'm unsure. I was using the default prog that the file opened up in on the server (on CPanel??). I pasted the script into 'Word' and then back in the end.
Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks   :-D  TG

I hate web based editors. They tend to mess things up. I always recommend downloading the files and using a dedicated text editor. For this I recommend PSPad which is the text editor I use. It has syntax hilighting and a built in FTP client to work on the files while they are on your server.

Subject: THANK YOU!!
I just wanted to take a minute out of my life to THANK YOU, Carbonize!! 

I am a total noob making my way through all this/learning as I go.  You made this guestbook thing SOO much easier.  I installed the human verification mod today and it already has helped.  I'm sure we'll still get human spam but it looks like most of our spam were from those nasty spambots. 

Off to look for info on Lazarus...would love the ability for my clients to approve entries before they are posted publicly. 

Thanks again for all the hard work you do, for how much you give selflessly and for remaining pleasant when dealing with newbie after newbie after newbie question.   :-D
