Professor's Class Notes and Comments

Similar to the chapter on Strings, once again PHP has a plethora of functions that are available for arrays. Be sure you know the important ones, the values they return, and the parameters.

This week there are again some instructor prepared sample files which can be downloaded for your use. The intention is provide a more simplistic approach than the Message Board application provided in Chapter 6. Most of the files can just be viewed through the server without looking at the underlying coding. However, you are certainly welcome to do both. The link is located in Sample Code panel above.
