Page 54 Chapter Exercise 1-20 (ComparisonExample.php), Step 4 The last echo statement should read: echo '$Value1 not equal to $Value2 OR not the same data type: ', $ReturnValue, "</p>"; Figure 1-32 (bottom of page) The last line should read: $Value1 not equal to $Value2 OR not the same data type: false Page 70 Reinforcement Exercise 1-3, Step 4 Replace both occurrences of the variable name $SingleFamilyHome_Print with the variable name $SingleFamilyHome_Display in the instructions for the step.

Chapter 2
Page 108 Chapter Exercise 2-9 (DiceRoll.php), Step 7 The instructions should be modified to read as follows: Modify the echo statement to display the $RollCount variable instead of the $RollNumber variable. Modify the call to the CheckForDoubles() function to use $Die1 and $Die2 instead of $Die[0] and $Die[1]. echo "The total score for roll $RollCount was $Score.<br />"; $Doubles = CheckForDoubles($Die1,$Die2); Page 115 Comprehension Check, Question #15 Replace all four occurrences of the variable name $echo with the keyword echo (once in each of the four possible answers). PowerPoint Slides 38 and 39 have been updated.

Chapter 3
Page 170 Chapter Exercise 3-13 (PHPEmail.php), Step 2 There are two opening square brackets before the capital A, when there should only be one, as follows: If (preg_match("/^[\w-]+(\.[\w-+)*@" . "[\w-]+(\.[\w-]+)*(\.[A-Za-z]{2,})$/i",

Chapter 4
Page 193 Chapter Exercise 4-1 (Scholarship.html), Step 2 A closing </p> tag should be appended to the next-to-last line, as follows: <p><input type="reset" value="Clear Form" />&nbsp; &nbsp;<input type="submit" name="Submit" value= "Send Form" /></p> Page 199 First Careful - The word FALSE should be TRUE, as follows: The empty() function returns a value of TRUE for a numeric value of 0. If you are validating a numeric field for which 0 is a valid entry, you must check for a value of 0 separately. Page 202 Chapter Exercise 4-4 (process_Scholarship.php), Step 2 The final n in the echo statement should be a newline escape sequence \n, as follows: echo "The field \"$fieldName\" is required.<br />\n"; Page 204-5 Chapter Exercise 4-5, Step 2 A closing </p> tag should be appended to the nextto-last line of XHTML code, as follows: <p><input type="reset" value="Clear Form" />&nbsp; &nbsp;<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send Form" /></p> Page 225 Reinforcement Exercise 4-2 (ContactForm.php), Step 4 The pattern string assigned to the $pattern variable has an extra set of square brackets for the [a-z] character set ([[a-z]]). The extra set of square brackets should be removed, as follows: $pattern = "/^[\w-]+(\.[\w-]+)*@" . "[\w-]+(\.[\w-]+)*" . "(\.[a-z]{2,})$/i"; Page 229

Page 255 Chapter Exercise 5-5 (ViewFiles.php), Step 7 Remove the trailing \n at the end of the last line, as follows: echo "<a href=\"$FullEntryName\">" . htmlentities($Entry) . "</a>"; Page 263 Chapter Exercise 5-7 (VisitorFeedback.php), Step 5 The instructions should read code immediately after, not form immediately before, as follows: Add the following XHTML code immediately after the closing PHP tag:

Chapter 6
Page 314 Removing Duplicate Elements, Paragraph 1, Sentence 6 should be modified to read Instead, it returns a new array with the duplicate values removed. The words duplicate values removed should replace the words renumbered indexes. Pages 326-7 Chapter Exercise 6-9 (MessageBoard.php) As written, the code will produce output with the subject line one message ahead of the remainder of the message data. To fix this problem, the following changes are needed. The instructions for Step 3 need the following text appended: The variable $Key is also declared and initialized. The $Key variable will contain the key of the current array element. The code for Step 3 should be as follows (note the new second line): $Index = 1; $Key = key($KeyMessageArray); The third echo statement in Step 4 needs to be modified as follows: echo "<td width=\"85%\><span style=\"font-weight:bold\"> Subject:</span> " . htmlentities($Key) . "<br />"; Another statement needs to be added immediately after incrementing $Index at the end of Step 4, as follows (top of Page 327): echo "</tr>\n"; ++$Index;

Add the following code to the script section to declare an associative array of European cities and the distances between them in kilometers, the start and end city index variables, and the conversion factor for kilometers to miles: The following code needs to be added immediately before the line $KMtoMiles = 0.62; to initialize the start and end city index variables: $StartIndex = ""; $EndIndex = "";
