PHP in Action

And by the way, the book is in print...

Again a somewhat belated announcement: PHP in Action is in print. My copies of it arrived at my doorstep while I was in Crete, with no clear indication that would have allowed my brother, who was hovering helpfully in the vicinity, to guess what it was. I guessed it, though.

But DHL couldn't give any definite answers, and their Norwegian branch have a menu on they're telephone answering machine that gives a whole new dimension to the concept of a poor user interface. My colleague had a worse time, though. He was the victim of identity theft. His shipment of Java books, also delivered by DHL, was hijacked by someone who forged his signature.

Oh, my dear, I've just had a book published, and here I am chatting about everything else. Strenuously objective as always, I have to say that it's a pretty good book. Wink

I've had to read it about fifteen times already, and I still sort of enjoyed it the last time.

Looks promising

I got a copy last week as a gift for speaking at the zend uk conference. It looks very interesting. I'll post a review on my blog when I'm done with it. (which could take a while though, still haven't finished The Long Tail by Chris Anderson)

Hello,
firstly, I would like to sorry for possible mistakes, since I am not an English native.
In fact, I haven't read the whole book yet, but I have to say, that I really enjoy what I have already read, although, I think you make some small mistake, I mean, on the 112 page (it's in chapter 6), you wrote "Unless we turn output buffering off again, there will
never be any output at all." when talking about ob_start() function. As far as I know, that seems to be false, since the buffer is returned to the browser by using ob_end_flush() function or, if you don't use it, at the end of the script.

Thanks, you're right. I made an incorrect assumption about how the function worked. There will be an errata list at Manning's website, and I'll make sure this is included.

Any idea where the errata will be posted? Can't find it on this page: http://www.manning.com/reiersol/

I haven't heard from Manning about an errata list yet. They say there should be one eventually, based partly on feedback from readers in the forum at: http://www.manning-sandbox.com/forum.jspa?forumID=277
