Poj & Preceptor

Thanks for your input. I am using strict & warnings now. I have also put placeholders. That brings no change or warnings to what i was already getting. About using 'get', yes that have been helpful as it updates my url with action=Update or Delete in place of search.. but it looses all the other parameters. My url gets truncated from : http://localhost/cgi-bin/PROJECT/sqlconfig.cgi?lname=&fname=&phone=&email=&address=&zip=&lname1=Puma&fname1=Matthew&action=Search

to

http://localhost/cgi-bin/PROJECT/sqlconfig.cgi?action=Update

However, if I manually replace action=Search with Delete or Update, it utilizes the functions. So my basic need is to just be able to pass all the parameters with 'get'. Any ideas?
