Example 10-10

The print statment prints with a non-existent variable called $row, when in fact it should have used the variable $firstRow.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The two instances of $row in the print statement in the code example should be changed to $firstRow -- the entire print statement should read:

print "The first results are that {$firstRow['symbol']} goes with {$firstRow['planet']}";
