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


Confirmed errors:


{11} Before the "All arrays in PHP..." paragraph, add the following:

	Values can be assigned quickly to an array with the 
 	array() function. Each argument to the funtion becomes 
	an array element. If an index is not specified using 
	the => syntax, PHP automatically assigns the indices 
	sequentially starting from 0:

		$arr = array('Hello', 'World', 1=>'Jan', 2=>'Feb');


[100] Near bottom of page; An error was made while reprinting. The text should 
read:

int eregi(string pattern, string
string [, array registers]
   Case-insensitive POSIX-style regular expression match

string eregi_replace(string pattern, string
replacement, string string)
   Case insensitive POSIX-style replace regular expression



[101] middle:
The entry for "implode" has the arguments reversed. Instead of:

	string implode(array src, string glue)

It should read:

	string implode(string glue, array src)


(106) top half:
The functions

	bool is_real 

and
	
	bool is_string 

are listed twice. 

The second occurrences of "bool is_real" and "bool is_string" should be cut.
