Hiya Carol,
I have a question for a change! On a html_record_long type site, is it easier to draw the content (like say a html description of the item) from the database or from a separate file?
For example, on the sites that I use this kind of system, I draw the content from a file name in much the same way I get an image, like $rec{'name'}.dat, and that works fine, but I'm wondering how it works if you have a $description field in the database. Wouldn't the html delivered back to the browser be outputted as one long string?
And another thing, while I'm at it, I've noticed that sometimes the '' aren't necessary when getting the value from a hash, i.e. $rec{'name'} works the same as $rec{name}. Is this to do with the version of Perl or wha?
Thanks,
adam
