Hello Monks,
Happy Easter!
I'm trying to insert some data from a form into a table and I'm receiving the following error message:
Can't call method "do" on an undefined value
I'm having a tough time trying to figure this out.
Can someone lend me a hand?
Here's the code...
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use lib qw(/usr163/home/w/s/wstrader/public_html/library);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use CGI qw(:standard escape escapeHTML);
use WebDB;

my $dbh = WebDB::connect ();

my $name = param("name");
my $coname = param("coname");
my $phone = param("phone");
my $email = param("email");
my $address = param("address");
my $city = param("city");
my $state = param("state");
my $zip = param("zip");
my $country = param("country");
my $page;


my $choice = lc (param ("choice"));    

if ($choice eq "submit")            # information submitted via form
{
    store_items ($dbh);
      
}
else
{
    $page .= p (escapeHTML ("Logic error, unknown choice: $choice"));
}


sub store_items
{
my $dbh;
$dbh->do ("INSERT INTO contact_info
              (contact_date,contact_name,company,telephone,email,addre
+ss,city,state,zip_code,country)
           VALUES (CURRENT_DATE,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)",
           undef,
           $name,
           $coname,
           $phone,
           $email,
           $address,
           $city,
           $state,
           $zip, 
           $country);
$dbh->disconnect();

}
