I am trying to verify that the user has filled out all the fields on a form. I keep getting an error saying that they are missing a field even when they are not. My output prints all the variables and then says the same field is always missing.
<dl compact> <dt><b>ChangeButton</b> <dd>:<i>Change</i>:<br> <dt><b>Department</b> <dd>:<i>Information Systems</i>:<br> <dt><b>FName</b> <dd>:<i>Kelly</i>:<br> <dt><b>HireDate</b> <dd>:<i>12/04/00</i>:<br> <dt><b>LName</b> <dd>:<i>Berry</i>:<br> <dt><b>Picture</b> <dd>:<i>03_02</i>:<br> <dt><b>RecID</b> <dd>:<i>5</i>:<br> <dt><b>Title</b> <dd>:<i>Web Developer</i>:<br> </dl> Content-type: text/html <html> <head> <title>Error: Missing field FName </title> </head> <body> <h1>Error: Missing field FName </h1>
Here is my current code.
foreach $field (qw(FName LName Department Title HireDate Picture RecID +)) { &CgiDie("Error: Missing field $field\n") unless defined $input->{$ +field}; }
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Prince99 "Too Much Is Never Enough"
