Errata for "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP: Training from the Source"

There doesn't appear to be an errata page on the Peachpit/Adobe Press website for my book, so I have created one on my own website at http://foundationphp.com/phpcs5/errata.php. Many thanks to conmolbry for pointing out the problems.

FIXED!!
1)
i finally did get the message problem was with:
$mailhost='ssl://mail.domain.com';
ssl:// was just nonsense and been removed
2)
'auth' => 'true' was changed to 'auth' => 'login'
3)
for bluehost i got information that it was tls secure connection protocol not ssl
'ssl' => 'tls'
4)
port used '25' not 465.
Didnt still tried 26 and 465 maybe they would work too.

Same password login and everything works local but on bluehost server wont send mail.
I contacted them and they said that i have to create mail on server from which mail will be sent.
I did that too.
But for what ever i put in mailconector array cant get that mail, and i really dont know what to do and who to ask.
Until this point i could get every problem solved put this bugs me because this is the last stage of what i was tryong to do and that is to incorporate login system from the book to live page.

<?php
$mailhost='ssl://mail.majapanic-tarot.com';
$mailconfig=array(    'auth'         =>     'true',
                    'username'     =>     '[email protected]',
                    'password'     =>     'password',
                    'ssl'        =>    'ssl',
                    'port'        =>     '465');
$transport=new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($mailhost,$mailconfig);
Zend_Mail::setDefaultTransport($transport);
and this is what they stated in info about the mail:
Mail Server Username: majapanic+majapanic-tarot.com >>>>>>>> this plus i think is (at)

Slight roadblock in "DW 8 with ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP: Training from the Source"

I'm working my way through Dreamweaver 8 with ASP,
ColdFusion, and PHP:
Training from the Source. I've come to the middle of Lesson 6
and have hit
my first obstacle in learning PHP. I'm following the
instructions to format
the output of the tour price calculator, but my issue is with
where to place
the following PHP code: <?php setlocale(LC_MONETARY,
'en_US'); echo
money_format('%i', $tourPrice); ?>
I placed it before the DOCTYPE and when that didn't work, I
tried inserting
right before the code that retrieves the tour price (in the
body of the
page). That didn't work either.
I also tried changing money_format to number_format and
manually inserting
the $, but when I tested everything, the output printed as
follows:
The estimated cost of your tour is
$0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000500.
I'm not quite sure where I've gone wrong.
Thanks for any help,
Heather

Check the PHP documentation - it tells you all you need to
know:

I've no idea what relationship you have with "Training from

but I find it interesting - to say the least - that you need
to the ask
the author of a rival book.

Adobe Flex 4: Volume 2: Training from the Source, Volume 2

This book was only published in late 2010 but seems to be unavailable from all online sellers. Volume 1 is widely available though. Anyone know why?

Hi All,
I've read Michael Labriola's,... book Adobe Flex 4: Training from the source, Vol. 1 and found it tremendous.
Tried to find next volume and failed. The question is:
Has anybody this book or it's not exist?
Can anybody help to find it preferably in pdf format or to look on the content at least?
Managed somebody to download it from torrent, megaploud and such, Is it real place where you can get it
or you may only get unnecessary subscription to sponsor service and no book?
Please answer to email: [email protected] or hear
Regards, Radmir (My real name)

IE does not run "refreshing the list of places" Lesson 12 Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP

Hi anyone else experience this. In lesson 12 everything works as it should until I add the code for refreshing the list of places as well as the list of photos. Live view works fine, Chrome, Dreamweaver and safari works as well. However IE 9 does not. If anyone can explain the cause of this I will be very grateful

I am sorry to see that you did not receive a reply. I'm having the same problem ... apparently the Adobe Extension Manager only sees the earlier versions of Dreamweaver, and so exits out of the installation.
If would be great to have the courtesy of a reply from Adobe regarding their extension manager.

Does electronic version Adobe Dreamweaver CSS with PHP content question

Does electronic version Adobe Dreamweaver CSS with PHP come with the labs or files used in a college course? What is on the CD and is there a way to get the content with the Barnes and Noble e-book? This should be a Barnes and Nobel question but they seem to have troubles answering the questions like this.

Electronic version comes with absolutely nothing about your course. All you get is everything in this link:
<http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=dreamweaver>
The link will give you 30 days of free use of DW after which you might get bored with DW or you will have given up on your course and started your own business to pay your school fees.

Attempting to upload files using the zend _file_transfer system from cs5 training from the source. [was: Question for David Powers]

I am attempting to upload files using the zend _file_transfer system from cs5 training from the source.
On trying to upload to a remote server I am having trouble with the destination setting (C:/upload_test) in the example, please could you point me in the right direction for the an example of this setting for a remote file transfer
Also do I have to construct a connection file to activate a Ftp file transfer?
David Woolston

>I am on windows platform
Who is your host? When you checked your host path in your host control panel, what did it say?
>i have assumed (may be incorrectly) that the purpose of the exercise was to upload to a remote site (ie my website)
That is correct.
>Of course that upload might take place on a computer that does not have DW installed (an internet cafe for example)
That's irrelevant. DW is just the tool you are using to build your site. The site runs on your hosting accounts servers. This includes the php scripts you are working with.
>I have uploaded all files necessary for the operation, when i click upload it returns no such directory exits.
Do you have a url we can check? What destination are you specifying in zend code?
>This made me suspect that I would need to construct a ftp file transfer connection file to satisfied username, password , connection address etc
The exercise you are dealing with is using http file transfer. This has nothing to do with FTP. You do not need FTP for this, other than using it to move your source code from your local client to your server.

Is Flex 4 Training from the source any better than Adobe's own Using Flex 4?

I am preparing for the Flex 4 ACE exam from Using Flex 4. Is there a good reason for me to switch to the training from the source book?

Firstly note that F4TFS is in 2 parts, and although part 2 appears to have been published at the end of 2010, AFAIK it appears to be unavailable right now. I have read F3TFS, and am going through F4TFS at the moment. Using Flex 4, available free as a 32Mb PDF, is a very useful reference, along with the 12 or so other Flex books available free from Adobe. While Using Flex 4 is a reference (including plenty of example code), F3/4TFS is structured as a series of lessons, working on the same project (Flex Grocer shopping cart app) throughout. It touches on most aspects of Flex development, and is a great guide for beginners. If I have one criticism of the book, it is that a shopping cart example is going to be inherently dull- so if you have a low boredom threshold you will have to force yourself through the examples. I would still recommend it as a beginner's book, although in the real world you are unlikely to be using Design Mode much, except for throw-away prototypes. If you have a project you want to get started on right away, then you could just wade in and start coding using the Adobe documentation for help, but if you'd like to have an existing example, then F4TFS is for you.
When learning Flex its best to read as much as possible, so I'd widen your reading if possible to include the Flex 4 Bible, AdvancED Flex 4, Enterprise Development with Flex, etc, and the absolute shedloads of blog posts and examples on the internet.

Adobe flex 3 training from the source, code download

I've got this book here
adobe flex 3 training from the source
but we've lost the cd's, can I download the code?

I've progressed to Lesson 13 where the reported problem is
also happening. As i didn't keep the files for Lesson 9 this will
have to do. There are 5 files that show up as different in the SCR
folder in my code vs the COMPLETE folder of Lesson 13. All of the
differences seem to be cosmetic &/or style in nature so I have
no Idea what is going on. Note: the comment lines are just added in
this message so you can tell one file from another.

Server Error (Training from the Source)

I'm working through 'Training From the Source' book and have
come across a server error with Chapter 12 and onwards. I have
created a register page and when I press the submit button the page
comes back with a server error;
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Operation must use
an updateable query.
/newland/register.asp, line 141
The line 141 is - 'MM_editCmd.Execute'
I don't understand what I've done wrong, the server behaviour
I used in DW is 'insert record' and the DSN is connected to the
database in the shared folder on my computer. I've had no problems
dynamically when I've needed to show info from the database but
when it comes to inserting/updating it doesn't let me.
Any ideas where I've gone wrong?

It's a permissions issue. See my article on the subject:

Training From The Source

Hi
being new to flex, I decided to get the Training from the
source book for flex 3, I have to say Im impressed so far.
I have an issue though the categorizedProducts.xml file on
the flexgrocer site seems to be empty. I am trying to run through
the examples. Anybody have any ideas as to why.
I have checked the code and tried a direct link and nothing
is returned although the file exists.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem with the Flex 4 and 4.5 books. same site:
www.flexgrocer.com/categorizedProducts.xml . The first flexgrocer link in the book www.flexgrocer.com/category.xml works just fine (if that's the correct link... i'm going by memory here)

Dreamweaver CS3 Training from the Source

I am working through your book, with the intention of using
it as a textbook this coming fall semester in my high school web
design class. (Have used previous versions of this book before with
great success.) This is my first experience with XML/Spry/AJAX and
I was able to successfully complete chp 9. However, by the time I
completed chp 12 and had attached the Restrict Access to Page
server behavior to all of the appropriate pages, my XML data set
had fallen apart. Since the dataset no longer works, the Country
Profiles page doesn't work (which makes doing chp 15 impossible).
I have tried to re-create the XML dataset (ds1), however I
keep getting the error message "Design Time Feed - Failed to get
schema from the dynamic feed (countryDetailXML.cfm). Please make
sure the testing server is configured in the Site Definition. (It
is.)
Do you have any suggestions? At this point I am frustrated
enough to go back to chp 9 and start again, however, I have 20 high
school seniors who will give up at this point.
I appreciate any help you can give me.

Are you using an Access database? If so check to be sure that it is not open in MS Access or that it is not locked. Windows will lock the file when you have it opened in Access, and even after closing Access, it will sometime neglect to unlock it. sometimes you even have to reboot your system to get Windows to let go of it... VERY frustrating during development. (One more reason to move to a true DBS like MySQL or SQL Server (Express for local dev and testing)
Hope this helps.
