in reply to DBI & MySQL Login Test

I would do it this way.
$uname = $dbh->quote($uname); $pword = $dbh->quote($pword); my $tablename = 'members_pass'; my @row = (); # no need for the if statement, we have asked that question in MySQL my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM `$tablename` WHERE `username` = $uname AND `password` = $pword LIMIT 1 ;"); $sth->execute; @row = $sth->fetchrow; $sth->finish; print "@row" if @row;


Update: there was an error in the code. roboticus++

What did the Pro-Perl programmer say to the Perl noob?
You owe me some hair.
