in reply to Re^3: printing a string from an sql field that contains a variable
in thread printing a string from an sql field that contains a variable

I do now... thanks :)

Unfortunately, this has not changed the output I am getting, it still just prints out $me , $friend, etc.

Do I need to make a hash named "%var" and put all the scalars in there as keys and values, then update that hash every time I update the scalar?
