Learning PHP 5
by David Sklar

Here's a key to the markup:
	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification

The following errors were corrected in the 5/08 printing.

{7}  Example 1-2 HTML;

The input tags should have been changed to read:

<input type="text" name="user"/>

and

<input type="submit" value="Say Hello"/>


{83}  Code for exercise 5-3;
The entire code example now reads:

$cash_on_hand = 31;
$meal = 25;
$tax = 10;
$tip = 10;
while(($cost = restaurant_check($meal,$tax,$tip)) < $cash_on_hand) {
     print "I can afford a tip of $tip% ($cost)\n";
     $tip++;
}
function restaurant_check($meal, $tax, $tip) {
     $tax_amount = $meal * ($tax / 100);
     $tip_amount = $meal * ($tip / 100);
     return $meal + $tax_amount + $tip_amount;
}


And the corresponding answer block in appendix C, section C.5.3 (page 303)
now reads:

I can afford a tip of 10% (30)
I can afford a tip of 11% (30.25)
I can afford a tip of 12% (30.5)
I can afford a tip of 13% (30.75)


[91]  Example 6-7;

Added the following text to the last paragraph on page 91:

However, if your PHP configuration has error_reporting set to include
E_NOTICE level errors, then you will see a message about _submit_check
not being defined. If you want to suppress those messages, you can use
array_key_exists().


{102}  line 6; again in Figure 6-4;

The Code block after the text "...then Example 6-22 prints:" now reads:

I &lt;b&gt;love&lt;/b&gt; sweet &lt;div class=&quot;fancy&quot;&gt;rice&lt;/div&gt;&amp; tea.

In figure 6-4:

     ...rice</fancy> & tea
now reads:
     ...rice</div> & tea


{106} Example 6-29 -Last function listed on page;

In the example, the line

     if ($selected_options[$option]) {

Should be changed to

     if (isset($selected_options[$option])) {



{161}  first code sample;

	ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',600'); // 600 seconds = = ten minutes
	
now reads:

	ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',600); // 600 seconds = = ten minutes


{187-188} both if ($_POST['_submit_check']) statements in Example 9-17. 

Each instance of

if ($_POST['_submit_check']) {

now reads:

if (isset($_POST['_submit_check'])) {


[283]  Table B-2, 

In the last row of Table B-2, the third Column ("Matches"), it now reads:

dog and cat and chicken, dog and cat and chickens, hotdogs and cats,
dogs and cat and chickens, dog and cats and chicken, dog and cat and
chickensoup, dogs and cats or chickens, dog and cat and chickenlegs

and the fourth column ("Doesn't match") now reads:

doggies and cats, dogss and catss
