Hi all, I hope I am not too far off the topic here. I actually need help with cgi, and mysql. Please refer to the this file to see the program itself: http://www.jhanna.com/ExtraPage4.txt
What I need to do is to break apart the subroutine, and do some manupulations on it before displaying the output and I just can't figure out how to do it! I basically want to accumplish 4 different tasks: 1. If an flag is set in the table to show the contact person, then I want this line displayed: If (IsContact=1) then show: <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD> Document Published by: $Announcement{'Contact'}, whose email address is: $Announcement{'ContactEmail'} </TD></TR> Else, I don't want it there. 2. <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD> <B><FONT FACE=$PRO::config->{COLORS_ALL_FontFace} COLOR=$PRO::config->{COLORS_ALL_TitleColor} SIZE=$PRO::config->{COLORS_ALL_FontSizeSmall}> $Announcement{'RelatedTitle'}</FONT></B><BR> <A HREF=\"$Announcement{'RelatedURL1'}\">$Announcement{'RelatedText1'}</A><BR> <A HREF=\"$Announcement{'RelatedURL2'}\">$Announcement{'RelatedText2'}</A><BR> <A HREF=\"$Announcement{'RelatedURL3'}\">$Announcement{'RelatedText3'}</A><BR> <A HREF=\"$Announcement{'RelatedURL4'}\">$Announcement{'RelatedText4'}</A><BR> <A HREF=\"$Announcement{'RelatedURL5'}\">$Announcement{'RelatedText5'}</A><BR> <A HREF=\"$Announcement{'RelatedURL6'}\">$Announcement{'RelatedText6'}</A> </TD></TR> What I want to do here is to check for validity of the field $Announcement{'RelatedTitle'}, and if this field is not empty, then outout a list of the URL's and the Names in a row, and numbered from 1 to... <A HREF=\"$Announcement{'RelatedURLX'}\">$Announcement{'RelatedTextX'}</A> 3. If the option is set in the configuration files, the I want to be able to either disply/not display the following line: <A HREF=\"$PRO::config->{'Urls_emailit.cgi'}\"><img border=0 src=$PRO::config->{ILP_All_RequestInfo_Icon} alt='$PRO::config->{ILP_All_RequestInfoAlt}'></A> 4. The line: <img border=0 src=$Announcement{'ThirdIcon'} width=$Announcement{'ThirdWidth'} height=$Announcement{'ThirdHeight'} alt=$Announcement{'ThirdAltText'}> I want to check the table first, and if there exists a $Announcement{'ThirdIcon'}, then display this line. I know if the values are not there, it doesn't display them automaticaly, but the problem is that if that's the case, I get a lits of empty spaces in the page, and if I can do some checking, I can eliminate those spaces. P.S. I am willing to pay someone to advice me on how to do this Thanks so much, Soheil --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
