Example 6-26

Immediately after the line reading "print '<select name="sweet">'," the comment states that "$val is the option value, $choice is what's displayed"... but in the next line of code, these variables are written as $option and $label, respectively:

// $val is the option value, $choice is what's displayed

Example 6-28 code listing

There is a repeated omission of the closing single quote following print() statements. The first call to print() in this example lacks a closing quote, as does the 4th, 7th, and 10th.

The lines look like this:
print '<input type="checkbox" name="delivery" value="yes";

Note the missing single quote at the end of the statement; this results in a parse error.

if ($errors) {
print '<ul><li>';
print implode('</li><li>',$errors)
print '</li></ul>'
}



This section returns an implode usage error. I corrected this by changing to this:

if ($errors != " ")

since the function statement initially defines
$errors = ' '
