Re: Correct Syntax

You need curly braces around the code to be executed within the conditional.

if ( index( $fl, '1' ) != -1 )
{
    $flag = 1 ;
}
else
{
    $flag = 0 ;
}

There are many ways to do this. Here's a few, in the order I prefer them:

Use the CGI module from CPAN.

print $query->hidden( -name => 'hidden_name', -default => $ph );
[download]

Use printf.

printf '<input type="hidden" name="phone_number" value="%s">', $ph ;
[download]

Use interpolation.

print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"phone_number\" value=\"$ph\">" ;

You'll probably laugh but How do I embed that in the form `if ($ag eq "*********") {print " <form action=FormMail.pl method=post name=accept_estimate_cost target= +_self id=accept_estimate_cost> <input type=hidden name=job_number value= > {print qq[<input type="hidden" name="phone_number" value="$ph">]; <input type=hidden name=phone_number value= $ph >` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You're guessing syntax again. That will not work. Not today, not ever. If you have to ask for help for things like this, stop asking and start learning. You do not learn a language only by trying something, hoping the receiving end will be able to decrypt your illogical grammar. You will have to read documentation before you start programming. perlintro is a good start, but don't stop there. Sane programming cannot be done with the copy/paste function. If you're not willing to learn basic syntax rules, just please stop asking these stupid questions. - Yes, I reinvent wheels. - Spam: Visit eurotraQ.	[reply]

If you mean "in the form" in the "right in the HTML" sense, you may need to use something like Text::Template to put this kind of functionality in there. If you mean in the context of CGI, then the idea is simply to output bits of HTML, one after the other. In this case, you're merely printing a part conditionally.	[reply]
