Hello,
I'm getting an error when trying to run a script. Part of the scripts is
Line 10 my $action = param('form_action');
.
Line 14 Search_DB() if($action eq 'search');
The error I get is:
[Tue Nov 1 16:28:41 2005] connect_script.cgi: Use of uninitialized value in
string eq at connect_rodopi.cgi line 14.
How am I supposed to initialize this value?
Kind regards
Dayo
Two things you can do:
line 10: my $action = param('form_action') || '';
or
line 14: Search_DB() if( defined( $action ) && $action eq 'search' );
The first solution implies that the value '' for $action will never be
tested for. I prefer the second one. You can always put it in its own if
statement:
if( defined( $action )){
# list of actions
...
Search_DB() if $action eq 'search';
...
}else{
# page for no action
...
}
