Error message when I add stuff for curly quotes

Support (Resolved)

Hi,
I’ve changed the ft.expresso.php file (per recommendations earlier here) so that I get typographically-correct quotes and apostrophes; my Replace Tag looks like this at the top:

/**
     *  Replace Tag
     */
    
public function replace_tag($data$params = array()$tagdata false)
    
{
     $data 
str_replace('"''"'$data);
     
$data str_replace(''''’'$data);
        
$options = array(
         
'text_format' => 'xhtml',
         
'html_format' => 'all'
        
); 

This works on various sites I have, but I’ve now got a site running EE4 and Expresso 5.3.1 and I’m getting the following error message when I go to edit Fields or access Addons:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Expresso_ft in /pathtosystem/user/addons/expresso/ft.expresso.php on line 792

Any idea what I’m doing wrong here, or what I should do so that I can continue to get curly quotes?

Thanks!

As per the error message, have you redeclared the `Expresso_ft` class on line 792?

I’m not sure what that means—I didn’t change anything in the file except those lines above.

This is the end of the file, if that helps:

// --------------------------------------------------------------------

    /**
      *  Checks if is valid license
      */
    
private function _valid_license($string)
    
{
        
return preg_match("/^([a-z0-9]{8})-([a-z0-9]{4})-([a-z0-9]{4})-([a-z0-9]{4})-([a-z0-9]{12})$/"$string);
    
}
}

/* End of file ft.expresso.php */

Hmm I see. What version of Expresso is installed?

5.3.1—and it works fine so far except when I add that code.

Something else in the file must have been changed. If you now comment out those 2 lines then does it still throw an error? If so then I’d recommend you start with the original file again to rule out characters added by accident.

Okay! Apparently something strange got copied into the file because when I commented out the two lines it still gave the error. So I put the two lines in BBedit and copied it back in and now it’s working!

Thanks so much for heading me in the right direction! I really appreciate the support!
