I transferred the code exactly from the book so I could get a look at what they were showing...But the divs show up where the errors are suppose to go. Anyone know why?  Here is what I got when I used the code from the book.  http://www.mylahstone.com  and here is the code.

<?php

//File Name: reg_log.inc

include ("functions.inc");

?>

<html>
<head>
    <title>Member Login</title>
    <style type='text/css'>
    <!--
    label {
        font-weight: bold;
        float: left;
        width: 27%;
        margin-right:  .5em;
        text-align:  right;
        }
    legend {
        font-weight: bold;
        font-size: 1.2em;
        margin-bottom:  .5em;
        }
    #wrapper {
        margin:  0;
        padding: 0;
        }
    #login {
        position: absolute;
        left: 0;
        width: 39%;
        padding: 1em 0;
        }
    #reg {
        position:  absolute;
        left: 40%;
        width: 60%;
        padding:  1em 0;
        }
    #field {padding-bottom: .5em;}
    .errors {
        font-weight:  bold;
        font-style:  italic;
        font-size: 90%;
        color:  red;
        margin-top: 0;
}
-->

Try removing the extra spaces in here:

 

echo " < div id = 'field' > 
<label for = '$field'> $value </label> 
<input id = '$field'name = '$field'type = '$type'value = '".@$$field."'size =
'40'maxlength = '65' / > < div > \n";

 

So there is no space between the "<" and the "div", for example.
