On page 18 the book begins writing a code sample. The last item on page 18 is <div id="content">.
On page 19, the first code block ends with a closing <div> tag but right before that there is a closing <form> tag. Where does this form tag originate? I believe this is a mistake but I'm not sure.
Note from the Author or Editor:
This is indeed an error. Remove the line that reads </form> entirely. |

3rd or 4 th paragraph |
There's no mention in the "Writing your Second Program" section to save the "sayHello.html" code.
Whereas in other areas, i.e. page 19, 1st paragraph, it says "Save this program as "sayHelloWeb.php.
Please clarify. Later in this section/chapter there's mention of sayHello.html but at no time is there a request to save this code.
Thanks.
Note from the Author or Editor:
For clarity, at the end of the first paragraph, we will add the text "Go ahead and save this HTML as sayHello.html." |

The code at the top of pg 19 contains a closing </form> tag, but the opening <form> tag on pg 18 seems to be missing.

fourth line of code |
sayHelloWeb.php: It looks like some example code is missing. There is a </form> tag with no corresponding <form> tag. Since the Missing CD is not yet posted, I can't download it to check. Needless to say, the example doesn't work.
Note from the Author or Editor:
This is indeed an error. Remove the line that reads </form> entirely. |

Forth line from the top of the page |
</form>
There is no starting <form> for this closing. Also when I run this program on the Mac or on Windows instead of showing the output, the program sayhellpweb.php opens up in the editor. Could this be the issue?
Regards,
Neeraj

Link to cd |
The link to the cd works, but the cd does not contain all the chapters. It only has chapters one and two. Also, the CSS file is incomplete. Some of the div tags don't work because of this.

It seems that to re-hide the hidden files again, the word 'TRUE' should be 'FALSE.'

last paragraph, last piece of code, second line |
In order to HIDE all files on a Mac:
$ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
The book shows TRUE (again), as in the first piece of code written in the Power Users' Clinic which offers instruction on how to turn all the file ON... in order to turn the files OFF, a FALSE statement needs to be present in the code.

Code snippet |
In the statement for $twitter_url, the variable $position is not defined. Going by earlier code, the statement could be inserted above:
$position = strpos($twitter_handle, "@");

the regex for the error message variable causes an error.
$error_message = preg_replace_all("/\\\\/", '', $_REQUEST['error_message']);
causes the page to not load. there is some kind of error.
Note from the Author or Editor:
preg_replace_all should be replaced by preg_replace |

Response to Dec 28, 2011 errata for page 202 |
The function preg_replace_all() is not a pre-existing PHP function. Rather, the function preg_replace() is meant, and it defaults to "replacing all" if a limit argument is not included.
Note from the Author or Editor:
preg_replace_all should be replaced by preg_replace |
