I’m thinking this may be a chrome bug since it doesn’t happen in any other browser but I’m not 100% sure. When I copy the raw code from a crayon snippet in Chrome and paste it into a file, it seems to copy some bad characters. It appears to be the spaces that get corrupted. When I copy perfectly valid code and save it to a PHP file and try to run it, I get an error message similar to the following:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_FUNCTION…

I have tried this with two different editors (PhpEd and Notepad++) and both have the same result.

Here are the steps to reproduce the error:

1. Copy the (plain text) code from the ‘Other Methods’ section of this page: https://www.hoffsays.com/2012/06/12/custom-404-not-found-error-pages-in-cakephp-2-0/
2. Paste it into an editor wrapped in <?php ?> tags.
3. Remove “App::uses(‘ExceptionRenderer’, ‘Error’);” and ” extends ExceptionRenderer” and save the php file.
4. Try to run the file on your local server and you’ll get the error.

I did a little digging with Firefox and Firebug and I think it’s related to the entities that are in the textarea. Should these be actual spaces instead of in the textarea?

Again, this might be a Chrome bug but I know you could fix the issue a helluva lot faster than it would ever get fixed in Chrome.

Quite right!
```
class AppExceptionRenderer {

? ? ? ? /*-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
? ? ? ? /* -- Exceptions
? ? ? ? /*-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

? ? ? ? public function notFound($error) {
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? $this->controller->beforeFilter();
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? $this->controller->set('title_for_layout', 'Not Found');
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? $this->controller->render('/Errors/error404');
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? $this->controller->response->send();
```

Oh wow I don’t even get those funky A’s, I just get “invisible” characters in my editors! Maybe only encode the <, >, and & symbols (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2502360/html-textarea-tag-how-to-correctly-escape-html-and-javascript-content-displa)?

Ok, fixed it. It was putting &nbsp into the textarea as well, fixed now. Remove Crayon and re-download 1.9.8 again.

Thanks for fixing it! Won’t I lose all my crayon settings if I remove it and re-install?

Nope, it uses the WP options API so it’s all in the database ?? Only way of reseting it is removing the entry in the database or clicking reset in settings.

Hmmm I still seem to be getting the same thing

Well yes, they’ll need to update it on their site first for it to kick in ?? Oh, if it was your site, then download this and replace the file:

Yup it’s my site, I deleted & updated and still same thing. Tried replacing with the file you added too and still having problems ??

The & nbsp; still seems to be breaking it

It’s unlikely, but perhaps the code has been created with the spaces in the actual post?

It works fine here running 1.9.8:

I just checked the DB, and it’s tabs for indentation instead of spaces. Does crayon replace tabs with spaces?

I think that is the problem. Somewhere you must replace the tab character with 4 (html encoded) spaces?

Plugin Author akarmenia

Yep, or whatever it is in the settings. The new file here fixes that by leaving the code as is in the textarea (which is what it should really do):

Jackpot! Works like a dream, thanks a bunch for fixing it so quickly! I love that it retains the tabs now too!

Seems more semantically correct that way at least, glad you got it working, and thanks for filing the bug ??
