Answer 1

Next time, pls tell us where is the line 47. See the fixed code below:

function is_valid_isbn($isbn)
{


  $isbn_length  =  strlen($isbn); //no br here
  $isbn_sum     = 0;//no br here
  echo "this is the length :"; //same 
  echo $isbn_length;//same
  for($i=0; $i < $isbn_length; $i++) //wrong here, missing the operator <
  { 
          $total += substr($isbn, $i, 1) * (11-$i+1); //too many ( )
  }//no br here
  return true;
}

Answer 2

for($i=0; $i$isbn_length; $i++) 

maybe it should be: for($i=0; $i==$isbn_length; $i++) or something like that...
