The spell Tenser's Floating Disk exists in the official spell list (as a Ritual) as a spell you can only access if you purchase the PHB online. This is of course normal, but the Big problem is that there is a spell called Floating Disk (as a Ritual) open to the public under official spells. The only difference is the name of the spell; all the spell's information is there.
To add to what Grinnz has said, the reason why spells that normally have a specific name attached to them (Melf, Tenser, Mordenkainen, Tasha, Bigby, etc.) show up under altered names (usually just dropping the name in question, though some replace the name with a more generic term, a la arcane hand) is because all of those names are trademarks held by Wizards of the Coast so they can't let people use them for free - and they chose to alter the names, rather than just not have those iconic spell effects be part of the free-to-use version of the game.

Floating Disk is in the SRD, this isn't an error. Similarly hideous laughter

What the site labels as "basic rules" is actually a combination of everything found in the basic rules as well as the SRD.
