Hi,
This is my first post to the list. In fact, I just subscribed today. =
I'm a
web programmer at Haverford College in Haverford, PA--just outside of
Philadelphia.
I write a lot of web programs in Perl that rely on MySQL databases. I =
often
find myself "quoting" numerous variables using the Perl MySQL DBI to =
make
sure that they'll insert into my databases properly. I'm not sure if =
that's
the best terminology for what I do, so here's an example:
$my_quoted_variable_name =3D $dbh->quote( qq[$input{'my_variable_name'}] =
);
The preceding line would "quote" the form variable "my_variable_name" =
and
assign it to the variable "$my_quoted_variable_name", which I would then
insert into my MySQL table.
The issue I've run into, though, is that when I have a web form with =
dozens
of variables, I spend a lot of time "quoting" them all--one by one. Is
there an easier way to do this?
If this seems like a simple question and that there's an obvious answer,
you're probably right. I am somewhat of a novice.
Thanks!
Douglas
