Hello everyone, New to the list, and new to MySQL. Here's the problem we have put our employment application online and are trying to insert the information into a MySQL database. The server is RH Linux 6.1 Apache webserver for both SSL and Non SSL using two different installs, and the latest MySQL version. Our application has 157 fields currently. Heres the problem, on some systems the user receives a software error and the error points to the execute line in our script. On some systems no error at all, but on others seemingly the same setup it will fail at the execute line. If it fails no entries are made into the database, if no error is made then the entry is always successful. In between the top and bottom of the subroutine call are all of our variables from the form fields and the entries for the query for MySQL. Since there are 314 total lines I chose not to post them here. Are there better ways to enter that much info into the database, or are we flat doing it wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.....also any more info that is needed will be supplied up request. Ray Here is the top of the file use Mysql; use DBI; use CGI::Carp "fatalsToBrowser"; The top of the subroutine call sub sql { # database information $db="apps"; $host="127.0.0.1"; #$port="3306"; $userid="root"; $passwd=""; $connectionInfo="DBI:mysql:database=$db;$host"; # make connection to database $dbh = DBI->connect($connectionInfo,$userid,$passwd)|| die "Not successful connection: $!"; # prepare and execute query $query = "INSERT INTO certtest _____________________________________________ The bottom of the subroutine $sth = $dbh->prepare($query) || die "Not successful prepare: $!"; $sth->execute || die "Not successful: $!"; print "Record inserted into the database"; $sth->finish; $dbh->commit; # disconnect from database $dbh->disconnect(); exit; } --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
