Description

Module 7 (PHP beginner) intends to link to the userId service registration in DIContainer.php, but the line range was never verified — so the link was left out.

Line-anchored links into server source rot on every refactor, so this needs deciding as well as checking:

  • verify the current line range in DIContainer.php on a recent server version, or
  • link to the symbol rather than the lines, or
  • describe the mechanism and skip the deep link

Scope

Resolve it one way or the other and either add the link or record why not.

Where

content/php/beginner/7.md.

Done when

M7 either has a correct link or an explicit note that it deliberately does not.

Research direction

Start with content/php/beginner/7.md and inspect the current DIContainer.php registration for the userId service in a recent server version. Decide whether a verified line link, symbol link, or explanatory note is most durable. Done means M7 contains either a correct link or an explicit reason for omitting one.
