Can anyone look at my code below and tell me how to sort this!I need to make it sort by the variable $vStatus and then stop at ten results. This is just the search subroutine I have written, my email is dchenault@xpeditioner.com. Thanks for all your help!
sub getdata{ my($query) = "SELECT * FROM dataprofiles where $searchquery"; my($sth) = $dbh->prepare($query); $sth->execute || die("Couldn't exec sth!"); while(@row = $sth->fetchrow) { $vprofilenumber = $row[0]; $vStatus = $row[1]; $vPricePlusProduct = $row[2]; $vKeywords = $row[3]; $vUsername = $row[4]; print <<EndHTML; <html><head><title>Price Check</title></head> <body> <CENTER><FORM ACTION="http://www.xpeditioner.com/cgi-bin/merchant-mysq +l-db/search.cgi" METHOD=POST> <CENTER><TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=600> <TR> <TD WIDTH=245> <P><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=Username +VALUE="$vUsername" size=30 maxlength=40> <STRONG>\$$vStatus--$vPricePlusProduct</STRONG></FONT></P> </TD> <TD WIDTH=342> <P><INPUT TYPE=submit NAME=Submit VALUE="Click for Company + Information and Chat"></P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </CENTER> </FORM></CENTER> EndHTML } $sth->finish; }
