Has anyone tried using pop-up menus or sliding menus in PHP, preferably in table driven format menus...

Hi all,

I have written a stored procedure in Firebird that receives the field name
(field1) and the condition-cond1 (where clause of the select statement) as parameters and
returns the required field as output.

Here are those 2 lines of statement.

i.e.

str_sql = 'Select ' || :field1 || ' from my_table where ' || :cond1;
execute statement :str_sql into :outstring;

The procedure does not return any values. Can any body help me?

Here is the asp.net version with c sharp, sql server and jav script

Now that the Oracle database has been updated to 9i.
Some of the perl and CGI scripts no longuer work.

Cannot connect to oracle error ORA-3113

So far it looks like oraperl is not compatible with oracle 9i

Can somebody help me on this, I created a perl script to search for a certain records from a mySQL DB, uploading the script to our remote web server, calling the script, I received error 500.

Is this an permission error or the script is buggy?

500 /cgi-bin/bizsearch.pl ==> this is the page I received..

Any help?

Thanks.

Hi,

I am new to OO perl. I try to develop a perl program which used a few self defined module. I put all my .pm files in my project development directory. Here is a simply example:

aaa.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use lib '/my_project_package';
use ttt ();

ttt.pm
package ttt;
use Switch;

However when I run aaa.pl, I got the error message as:

ttt.pm did not return a true value at ./aaa.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./aaa.pl line 4.

Can anyone give me a help in solving this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi all.

I wrote some code that will check if a message has been posted in the forum. It will check the data.txt file every 30 minutes to see if the number has changed. The code is based on this cp article [^]

Note that this code is a very quick hack so expect bugs! It works for me though...

I love your work! Thanks to this article, I have my message board running on my site without using any database. This is a plus for me since I would need to upgrade my hosting if I wanted a MySQL database or something.

I have one problem though. When using the forum with Opera, none of the messages appear when clicking them. Do you have any idea what this could be? No problem in IE though. Haven't tested in any other browsers...

Hi There,

I have a very peculiar problem.

I am using Cygwin perl Version 5.6.1 on win2k system. I am trying to FTP Windows ASCII/Text files to unix. I am getting windows line endings at the end of each line in the files that have been ftp'd using Net::Ftp module. These are CR/LF.

I dont want them to appear in the files that have been ftp'd onto unix. I want to remove them. I know there are some tools out there that would remove this for me. But i want to use them as the last resort. And i am approaching this forum to get any inputs on this.

If anyone could throw some light as to how i could convert a windows file with windows line ending to windows file with unix line endings before fpt'ing it accross to unix. Or to remove the windows line endings in general. I know of another way using "tr". But i dont want to use this either. As this is on a file by file basis. I wanted to know if there is any environment variable or any other way out with which i make minimal changes to my perl script and achieve the objective. Reason i am saying this is, my perl script has 100's of such files(ascii) being ftp'd and i have to add tr ahead of each one of them as it doesnt work for a bunch of files or using a wild character.

Any further info, please dont hesitate to post your responses.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Well, I am not sure about doing anything automatically, but you could alter the perl script to have the files go through these scripts:

<br />
dos->unix (remover.pl):<br />
<br />
$infile = $ARGV[0];<br />
$outfile = $ARGV[1];<br />
open (IN, "<$infile") or die ("Cannot open file.");<br />
open (OUT, ">$outfile") or die ("Cannot open file.");<br />
binmode IN, ":crlf";<br />
binmod OUT. ":raw";<br />
while (defined($line = <IN>)) {<br />
      print OUT $line;<br />
}<br />
<br />
close IN;<br />
close OUT;<br />

You could have perl load an array with the file names and pass them to ^ the script.

If you need to go back...:
unix->dos:

$inf = $ARV[0];
$outf = $ARGV[1];
open (IN, "<$inf") or die("Cannot open file");
open (OUT, ">$outf") or die ("Cannot open file");
binmod OUT;
while (defined($line = <in>)) {
$line =~ s/\n/\r\n/g;
print OUT $line;
}
close IN;
close OUT;

Have perl run the script as something like (a seperate perl script)

<br />
@files = #load something here<br />

and do a foreach loop in the @files, putting them in $ARGV[0] (or something else)
with the same name in the $ARGV[1].

I really hope this helps!

One of the better books I've used is the Perl How to Program by Deitel Deitel Nieto and McPhie. It has a lot of good Perl info, and also sections on CGI and Python... Kinda expensive, but worth it so far.

Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Also try "Learning Perl" from O'Reilly. Great intro to Perl, though the section on CGIs is pretty sparse. After you get your feet wet, then by a more advance book like "Programming Perl."
