On page Chapter 13:<?php
function create_dropdown($identifier, $pairs, $firstentry,$multiple="", $key="")
{
$dropdown = "<select name=\"$identifier\" multiple=\"$multiple\">";
$dropdown .= "<option name=\"\">$firstentry</option>";
foreach($pairs AS $value => $name)
{
$dropdown .= ($value == $key) ?
"<option name=\"$value\" selected=\"selected\">$name</option>" :
"<option name=\"$value\">$name</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
return $dropdown;
}
?>
The create_dropdown and create_dropdown-2 function:
The code in the closing tag "</select>" should be:
$dropdown .="</select>";
and not: echo "</select>"; because this causes an unwanted result in the page.
Many thanks and More power!
On page 85:
In "The break and goto statements", I believe the code does not match the last output "Prime number found:".
There is no printf for "Prime number found" in the code.
