DBI can give you the column names, but only after the
->execute, you can find this e.g. in the doc's section on
Statement Handle Attributes.
I thought that I might display $queryResult in a web page.
For this purpose, you could use
HTML::Table::FromDatabase, which could replace your
while loop with a simple call to
my $table = HTML::Table::FromDatabase->new(
-sth => $sth,
-html => 'escape',
-border => 1,
);
print "<html><head><title>this is the page title</title></head><body><
+h1>this is the header</h1>";
print $table->getTable;
print "this is the end</body></html>";
Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
