Re: pulling php into perl

~~I see the 'Not Online' image just fine. I suggest you try clearing your browser cache. You may have an old, broken image saved there... :)~~

It's because the URL you are putting for the image doesn't output an image. It outputs an html page that contains an image. You'd need to use an iframe for this thing, or else get the html from that URL and use that for output instead of trying to use an image.

Oooh... as well, you may wish to be more careful with user-supplied data: dangerous ya know :)

I simply did it by passing html tags as the item number. Since you print out the item I was trying to access without escaping the html... well. The best way to fix it to say 'That item ID does not exist', rather than 'Item ID xxxx does not exist'. Never print back to the user information that they gave you without validating it first.
