Hi MCS,

OK - here's the situation:

I posted this problem last week http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=329045
(there you can see my original question, code examples and replies).

During the back-and-forth of replies, CountZero provided something that worked - well, almost...

The script generates INSERT strings whenever the form is submitted. Normally, these strings post to an HTML page ( as well as to an e-mail send that I get).
By selecting, copying and pasting the INSERT strings into a GUI and hitting "GO" they are added to the MySQL and work fine.

For some reason (which I do not understand), inserting CountZero's code somehow turns the POST function of the script

 $guestbookreal = "/home/flute/usedflutes-www/new_listings_publish.html";

to a GET function of the sample INSERT string sitting on the HTML page - not from the form.

Since CountZero's code does post the INSERT string to MYSQL - but from the wrong location - I'm trying to find out what the *right* location is of the INSERT string as it outputs from the form - so that is what goes into MySQL.

Thanks again,


-Bob
