Ex 12-10 |
Variable names are variable names, but for the echoed text:
Fahrenheit and Celsius are proper names, and those units of measure are abbreviated with a capital 'F' and 'C'. Degrees centigrade, with a lowercase c, is possible, but the text leans in favor of Anders Celsius.

strtolower |
The code does not work with the Russian symbols.
Now:
$lowered = strtolower("люБОЕ нУжное Вам количество Букв и Знаков Пунктуации");
echo $lowered;
Should be:
$lowered = mb_strtolower("люБОЕ нУжное Вам количество Букв и Знаков Пунктуации");
echo $lowered;
The code works both with the russian and english symbols.

last lines of example 11-6 in update mysqli pdf file |
The entry reads:
function get_post($connection, $var)
{
return $connection->real_escape_string($_POST[$var]);
}
however in mysqli wouldn't it be:
function get_post($connection, $var)
{
return $connection->mysqli_real_escape_string($_POST[$var]);
}
Also...
The line:
return $connection->mysqli_real_escape_string($_POST[$var]);
is giving a "syntax error, unexpected $end" in Dreamweaver CC 18 (preference is set to php 5.6) and nothing I've tried seems to resolve it.

4th paragraph |
The fourth paragraph starts with, "You can also apply a filter to a selection using the filtert method". There's a typo in the method name. It should be 'filter', not 'filtert'.

I believe that the sugar gliders on the front of the book were a mistake. You see, they have nothing to do with the topic and only cause grief. Perhaps something less nature-oriented and more tied to the technical field we've chosen to enlighten ourselves with.
Although I am certain this book contained detailed, accurate information on the advertised languages, I'll never know because of a horrible cat by the name of sam. I realize that sam should be capitalized, but I'm leaving it lower-case in a small act of defiance due to my pure hatred for the cat named sam.
You see, sam is a horrible, evil cat that only lives to make life worse for those that live near it. Do you think that this evil cat believes that by "killing" the sugar gliders, he has somehow earned his keep? No. I assure you, he is acting out of an evil intent to cause chaos and destruction.
Let me take you back to a week ago when sam showed up. I had been studying and listening to my (thanks to sam, ex) girlfriend's bird, Juliette, singing in the window. It was a time of peace. I was able to focus on my studies and enjoy this amazing bird's singing. That bird was the perfect pet.
Then, suddenly... Enter sam. Freakin' sam. I'll spare you the details, but after proving his skills at being a jerk, there was no more left of Juliette than of my book.
Anyway... The book. Please make note for future publications that the sugar gliders may be a mistake.
Also, maybe it's the glue or the ink, but it makes sam stink. Now I have a noisy, smelly, evil cat that won't leave terrorizing my apartment.

Top of page, running example 7-15 |
Book asks to type in example 7-15 and then save as "upload.php" before running script.
I was pressing the "Run > Internet Explorer" button from php Designer 8 and when the file to be uploaded was selected it would ask me where I wanted to save "upload.php".
After much head scratching, with both the books example file, downloaded from this website and my own script, I realised that php Designer runs scripts from this location:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\~upload.php.htm"
Not "localhost/upload.php" as you would expect.
Entering "localhost/upload.php" into one of your web browsers will have the desired result.
Hope this helps anyone who has got stuck at the same point.

Example 10-6 |
The for loop uses the $rows variable. The mysql_fetch_row() function uses the $row variable, not the for loop $rows variable. Without there being any apparent variable interaction between the for loop and the mysql_fetch_row() function, perhaps it should be explained how this construct is able to progress from processing one row of data to the next row.
Thanks,
Steve

1st paragraph |
If the search is for wordOne "and" wordTwo, then why do the following two queries return the same result? Please note that wordTwo in the second query is tod, which is not found.
1.) SELECT author,title FROM classics WHERE MATCH(author,title) AGAINST('adventures tom');
2.) SELECT author,title FROM classics WHERE MATCH(author,title) AGAINST('adventures tod');
Please resolve or advise.
Thanks,
Steve

Perhaps should have explicitly stated that, because of inheritance, instantiating Subscriber allows access to User properties and methods without the need to instantiate User.

SELECT category,COUNT(author) FROM classics GROUP BY category;
returns 4 Classic Fiction, 1 Non-Fiction, 1 Play. Not 3 Classic Fiction, 1 Non-Fiction, 1 Play as stated at the top of page.206.
To my amazement I tried the following and it returned the result on page 206 (I'm very much a beginner)
SELECT category,COUNT(DISTINCT author) FROM classics GROUP BY category;
