PHP files turned into a single line of code.
 

I recently have paid someone to add the v3 arcade hack so obviously I did not make the file edits.

Now all the files that had been edited turned into one single line of code. Things work as one line of code but I cannot make any more changes without getting errors.

Why would a file turn into a single line of code?

the guy who edited the files did somthing really weird...

Is this a Frontpage or Dreamweaver edit, by chance? ;)

I honestly do not know what he used.

It was adamgessel, not saying anything bad about Adam he did a fine job at a cost that couldnt be beaten but I have not ever seen this happen to a file before.

As I said the files work in a single line but as i am not a coder when I try to seperate the line I end up screwing things up. He said he is going to fix them but busy at this time. I pray to god he gets around to getting it taken care of. :p

I have a hack I need to remove that requires me getting into a file that is a single line (global.php) and I have vba links but cannot get the links back on because the usergroup.php is screwed up. I did the best I could with the usergroup.php but I am stuck like chuck around line 360, something about a } is unexpected and just cannot get it in the right place.

Biggest reason I ask is because I do not want to end up doing something like this myself.

run the file through a search and replace and replace every ";" with a ";<CRLF>" most text editors will do this...I use EditPlus.

Thank you jugo. Honestly I do not know what you are saying to do but I am going to look into EditPlus.

I use Wordpad by default and I use notepad when I am looking for a #'ed line.

I need some help with getting these files corrected if anyone could spare the time.

Adamgessel has been blowing me off too long, I am unable to make changes that need to be made for example:

I cannot get my vba links to work at all.
I am unable to make any changes to user groups.
Unable to make any changes to global.php.

There's the problem right there. Those two programs have caused more than one coding project to go *BOOM*!

EditPlus is all I've ever used and it just keeps on getting better, doesn't it? ;)

No that is not the problem on my end anyway, I have used them and had some trouble once. The files that had been edited for the arcade install by Adam are the ones all screwed up.

Judge, I think I can possibly fix these for you.
I also believe that this is caused when the files are uploaded in BINARY mode instead of ASCII.

My IM and E-mail details are in my profile.

Thank you Knight, I have added you within my BL.

Yes it does.
