Re: Re: Link Tracker

I really appreciate everyone's comments on this and really really happy that I'm finally getting to the point where I can do a lot of things on my own.

The ++$var will come in handy real quick, I ran into the same "not incrementing" problem with my banner rotator. Thanks for that bit of info..

As for $db{ $var } ++; that's amazing. They sure did make it easier for the lazy people to do pretty mcuh everything :) I wish Anonymous Monk signed in so I could ++ him/her, that's a really quick and short way of incrementing a hash key. I didn't test this out but I was wondering if you could increment both the key and value at the same time? $db{$var1}++ = ++$value;

Sorry about the indenting Jeffa, I do intent now! It's just my computer isn't working so I'm on a system without ActivePerl (without perltidy). I will read/print/read/read/read your tutorial Jeffa :) If this helps with creating forms and tables I'll rake your leaves and shovel your snow all winter!! :)

Thanks again for all your comments/suggestions everyone, it really helps knowing other people can tell the difference in your codes.

I didn't test this out but I was wondering if you could increment both the key and value at the same time? $db{$var1}++ = ++$value; (1) If you are using incremental values as hash keys, then you should probably be using a plain array instead. (2) Yes, you can increment the array index (or key) and the value in one statement. The correct way would be: `$db[$index++] = ++$value` (or similarly with a hash key, if you insist), whereas your initial guess (with "++" outside the brackets) is not allowed; it generates a compile-time error. Go ahead, try it yourself and see. Your guess is "logically" equivalent to: `$j++ = ++$i` (I'm glad perl treats this as an uncompilable coding error).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
