The example code comprising four print statements will not produce the output described under "It prints:"

After "Discussion", 1st paragraph.

The text says: "... in the $_FILES superglobal array. For each file, there are four
pieces of information:
name :: The name assigned to the form element...".

This is not correct.

The $_FILES variable is a 2-D array. The first column contains the name(s) assigned
to the form input element(s) of type="file". The second column is a 4-column array
with information about each uploaded file. The "name" element in this array is the
original name of the file on the client system.

2nd Paragraph

Last line in Solution reads:
$server->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
page 337 2nd paragraph discusses this line and has it as:
$server->service($GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA']);
The disscussion being correct.

Last paragraph

The book recommends to set the "default_encoding" config to utf-8. However, I cannot find a config by that name anywhere in php.ini. Instead there is a "default_charset" config.
