in reply to Modifying Perl script to write to MySQL??

I then post the ads to MySQL by copying and pasting the INSERT INTO statements into "Run SQL query/queries" window on the phpMyAdmin interface

Carefully breaking the news ...

Hello? Ever heard about the DBI? DBD::mysql?

Ever seen our Tutorials? Reading from a database? Tricks with DBI? DBI Recipes?

    Hi dbwiz,

    < Hello? Ever heard about the DBI? DBD::mysql?

    yes, I'm already using DBI in the script (don't know about DBD::mysql yet though, sorry)

    < Ever seen our Tutorials? Reading from a database? Tricks with DBI? DBI Recipes?

    no, I didn't know about them... thanks for the tip. :-)

    I just checked the "DBI Recipes" but didn't see anything that covered the way I'm trying to modify the script -
    namely, run the INSERT INTO statement as it is presently outputting to the HTML page to execute/write to MySQL instead.
    Is that covered somewhere??

    Thanks again,

    -Bob
