Immediately after the line reading "print '<select name="sweet">'," the comment states that "$val is the option value, $choice is what's displayed"... but in the next line of code, these variables are written as $option and $label, respectively:
// $val is the option value, $choice is what's displayed
"foreach($sweets as $option => $label") ...

Example 6-28 code listing |
There is a repeated omission of the closing single quote following print() statements. The first call to print() in this example lacks a closing quote, as does the 4th, 7th, and 10th.
The lines look like this:
print '<input type="checkbox" name="delivery" value="yes";
Note the missing single quote at the end of the statement; this results in a parse error.

<pre>
Suppres "Undefine index ..." error messages if your php.ini config include E_NOTICE/E_ALL level errors
****
//print a radio button or checkbox
if($element_value == $values[$element_name]) {//...
SHOULD READ:
if(isset($values[$element_name]) && $element_value == $values[$element_name]) {//...
****
//print a <select> menu
//...
// print out the <option> tags
if($selected_options[$option]) {//...
SHOULD READ:
if(isset($selected_options[$option])) {//...
****
For the input name and Ttextarea just initiate default values on $defaults array:
$defaults = array('delivery' => 'yes',
'size' => 'medium');
SHOULD READ:
$defaults = array('name'=>' some value here...',
'delivery'=>'yes',
'size'=>'medium',
'comments'=>' some value here...'));
</pre>

show_form(), bottom of page |
if ($errors) {
print '<ul><li>';
print implode('</li><li>',$errors)
print '</li></ul>'
}
This section returns an implode usage error. I corrected this by changing to this:
if ($errors != " ")
since the function statement initially defines
$errors = ' '
