Re (2): DBI : select count

you're searching for the record where the username is literally $form_values...

Um, no. The outermost quotes are double, so the variable is in fact being interpolated. Nonetheless, using placeholders as you've illustrated is a much better approach.

Chris - spot on for the placement of finish()! Exactly the sort of fault that comes from staring at code too long - didn't even see it. Thanks. Tommy - thanks, but like VSarkiss says above, the quotes make it scope the hash and generates the query properly. But you guys are right about the usefulness of placeholders.	[reply]
