print "<table border="1">\n";

You cannot use double quotes within double quotes unless you escape them.

print "<table border=\"1\">\n";

next problem, i think this book is rubbish, this is copied exactly as printed.

any ideas? error on line 2 apparently

<?php
function addNums($firstnum, $secondnum;
{
$result = $firstnum+$secondnum)
return $result;11: }
print addNums(3,5);

?>

Should be :

PHP Code:


			
<?php

function addNums($firstnum, $secondnum)

{

$result = $firstnum+$secondnum;

return $result;    }

print addNums(3,5);

?>

What book is that? It seems pretty messed up
