I suspect it’s not working because the e-book isn’t ready yet. I’m not sure why the link has been made live.

Here’s the table of contents:

1. Why Object-Oriented PHP?
2. Writing PHP Classes
3. Taking the Pain Out of Working with Dates
4. Using PHP Filters to Validate User Input
5. Building a Versatile Remote File Connector
6. SimpleXML - Couldn’t Be Simpler
7. Supercharged Looping with SPL
8. Generating XML from a Database
9. Case Study: Creating Your Own RSS Feed

Thanks, Caroline. Unless there’s an unforeseen hitch with the printers, it should be there well in time. Enjoy your birthday - 21 again?

As soon as the e-book is available, you will be able to buy it from a link on this page on the friends of ED website. The book has now been sent to the printers and is due to be published in paperback on 18 August. The e-book version should be available several days earlier.

John, I have just returned from a 10-day business trip to California. I’ll get round to looking at your question when I’ve got some time to spare.

Hi David…

I apologize for chasing you and know your time is precious, but if you have a few minutes I’d be so grateful if you could look at an issue I posted in the dynamic content section of the freinds of Ed Forum about five days ago.

The post is in the Dynamic content section and concerns a content management update issue that has me completely stumped. I’ve tried every strategy I can think of to work it out on my own, but I’ve run out of ideas.

My nom de plume is John Edwards at FOED and I promise I’ll buy not one but two copies of your next book

Thank you!

Very briefly. It’s not a design pattern book, but it does introduce the concept, and a couple of the classes developed in the book are examples of design patterns such as Facade and Factory.
