Confirmed errors:


{9}  1st and 2nd code examples;
After querying the database, you try to fetch an associative array from the query
result in $r instead of $result.


{16}  2nd code example;
When demonstrating pass-by-reference, you call the Person class' setName() method as
a function in the global name space. You should be calling the editName() method
instead.


{18}  1st code example;
sendEmailTo($rasmus) should be sendEmailTo($rasmus2)


(23) in the class Database;
function database($host, $user, $password);
should be:
function Database($host, $user, $password);


(24) Bottom of the page, in code block;
class database {
should be:
class Database {


(25)  First sentence;
"...there's no need for use register_shutdown_function()"
should be:
"...there's no need to use register_shutdown_function()"


(26)  3rd paragraph;
"PHP will still find a the class definition."
should probably be:
"PHP will still find the class definition."


{35}  10 lines from bottom;
$area = math::pi * radius * raidus;
should be
$area = math::pi * radius * radius;


(137)  first code block ending with "$email = $xpath.....";
First code block should end with:
$emails = $xpath->query.....

"$emails" instead of "$email"


[146]  Table 5-3;
The text in Example 5-21 on pg 147 illustrates that the
PHP 5 class node-creation function for 'Attribute' nodes
should be 'new DOMAttr()' (not 'new DOMAttribute()' as
shown in Table 5-3).


{242}  Example 9-4;
Currently the code block ends with:

} (SOAPFault $exception) {
    print $exception;
}

This should be
} catch (SOAPFault $exception) {
    print $exception;
}
