Re: [mv] Re: dup checking when writing to database - Newsletter



Title: Re: dup checking when writing to database - Newsletter
First...You have to define a table somewhere in the [perl ] tag... Look in the archive, as I don't know the exact setup off the top of my head.
 
Try:
 
[perl global=1 tables=products interpolate=1]
 
As for the error, in perl @ is a reserved word. That makes e-mail addresses sort of a problem..the easy fix is this:
 
my $tvar = q! e-mail address goes here !;
 
which will take care of the formatting issues (turning @ into the escape \@). Then you can proceed with the rest of the script as usual.
 
The only other issue is to make sure your catalog has global access..you can do that by adding:
 
AllowGlobal catalog_name
 
to your minivend.cfg (located in root minivend directory)
 
Hope this helps:)

Hi Nick and thanks for your reply,

I changed my code as follows:

[comment]
[seti newsletter]
[tag flag write]newsletter[/tag]
[try]
[import table=newsletter type=LINE continue=NOTES]
subscribers: [value email]
active: 1
[/import]
[/try]
[catch] There was an error adding the newsletter. [/catch]
[/seti]
[/comment]


[seti rval]
[perl interpolate=1 global=1]

my $stmt = $dbh->prepare("Insert into newsletter (subscribers, active) value ([value email], 1)");
$stmt->execute() or return "Error";
 
return "success";
[/perl]
[/seti]
 
<p>
<font color="red">[scratch rval]</font>
<p>


But I get this in my error log:


[31/May/2000:17:15:28 -0500] process.html Safe: In string, @domain now must be written as \@domain at (eval 204) line 4, near "Insert into newsletter (subscribers, active) value (email@domain"

[31/May/2000:17:47:06 -0500] process.html Safe: Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at (eval 204) line 3.



I think my syntax is incorrect or I've left something undefined. Any suggestions?


Thanks,

Cameron
