Book does not get added and I'm not redirected to desired page.

Well, I've followed this video step by step, ensuring double quotes are used when required, no bit of syntax is left out, and I think I understood a good part of the logic, but after several attempts, I don't know why everything Alena did in the video didn't give me the same results i.e the page redirection and the book added to the book list.

Hi Daniel. Thank you for sharing your workspace. In your addBook.php file you are missing the php tag on line 1. After adding it, all works fine. Good job and keep on coding.

Oh my word! Thanks a lot Charl. In going through the syntax I missed checking the very first line of that file. That indeed shows that anyone could miss anything when writing code. Works like a charm now.
