Use of the sorter open tag format <? has been deprecated and only works in .....
The words depreciated and deprecated may look similar but they have very different etymologies.
The dominant modern meaning of the verb to depreciate is to reduce in value.
In an IT context the dominant modern meaning of the verb to deprecate is to give 'something' the status of now not being supported, of now advised against, of now not considered best practice, etc. whilst the 'something' remains available for use as before (but possibly for a limited time).
These word are often mistaken for each other in print (where they look similar) but are easily distinguished in a spoken context (due to their rather different pronunciation - see below).
The word depreciated has a soft C - de-pre-she-ated
The word deprecated has a hard C - dep-re-kay-ted

function Input() |
Also in the code download for chapter six.
The function argument ``align="center"'' is listed twice in the function declaration:
function Input($InputType, $EntityName, $value="", $align="center", $size="", $id="", $align="center", $readonly="", $class="",
$onType1="", $onAction1="", $onType2="", $onAction2="", $onType3="", $onAction3="")
I am really surprised it has not been mentioned yet. The second overwrites the first, and annoys the IDE, and there is no purpose in putting in the same argument twice.
