FrankB Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I just received the book and it tells me to register the book at Peachpit to get access to the Appendix. There's no access to anything on Peachpit and I can't find the Appendix here either. Suggestions, please... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Sorry about that, Frank. I don't myself know how one goes about getting that PDF, but I'll ask my editor and get back to you ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 You'd think that I, as the writer, would know something about this, and yet I don't. After logging in to my Peachpit account, I just registered my copy of the book: http://www.peachpit.com/store/register.aspx?i=9780132767613 Then it shows up in my list of registered products, which "gives you access to related supplementary content, such as bonus chapters, project files, and images." And then I have no idea how to get the supplementary content, such as that bonus appendix. I'll see what my editor says. Sorry about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartleySan Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I guess books are kinda like software these days: You don't want to be one of the first ones to buy it; better to wait until the "bugs" are worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig-UK Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I have mine on pre-order here in the UK and they still don't know when it will be released. No date as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Wait... there's no appendix? I can't find the book either, it's not at Barnes and Noble (in store). I'll have to order it from Amazon or Barnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 There is an appendix, but for page count reasons it got moved to a downloadable PDF. Most of the appendix is installation and MySQL user management, neither of which is frequently done. In order to put that 18 page appendix in the book, I think we would have had to add something like 32 physical pages, and the book was already over 700. Someone emailed me today saying they just got their copy from Amazon. Still waiting to hear back on where the mysterious appendix is on Peachpit's site.

Larry Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 It looks like the appendix and other bonus content just became available. Sorry for the delay. After registering with Peachpit, register your book. Then on your account page, click Registered Products. Next to the book, you'll see a green link that says "Access Bonus Content". As I write this today, the bonus content includes: Video: Using the PHP Manual Video: Basic Debugging PDF: Appendix Sorry for the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
