Looking for the correct syntax for this statement.
If either condition is not meet, forget it.
If each condition is meet then print.

Please don't try this copy of my example below, you will get a syntax error.

if (-e "$pic_location$rec{'Picture_1'}.jpg")
and
if (length($rec{'Picture_1'})>1)
do this
{
print qq|<tr><td align="CENTER" valign="MIDDLE" bgcolor="#FEE8A3"><center><b>Picture</b></center></td><td valign="MIDDLE"><ul><li><a href="javascript:display('$pic_location$rec{'Picture_1'}.jpg')">$rec{'Show_Pic_1'}</a></ul></td></tr>|;}
else forget it

Reckon this should do it:

Hmmmm, thats what I tried to begin with, && or and, but still comes up with syntax error with && or and. I tried inclosing the whole thing with ( ), no error but also no pic even though both conditions where met. I know there is something missing, but still a novice on CGI. We keep trying though...

Just a couple of little things. Use

if ((-e "$pic_location$rec{'Picture_1'}.jpg") and (length($rec{'Picture_1'})>1)) {

for your first line. That will get rid of your syntax error.

As for the picture not showing up, make sure your variables are correct. I have had better luck by not including the last "/" in the path variable.

So you would have
$pic_location = "/home/public/graphics";

and

"$pic_location/$rec{'Picture_1'}.jpg"

Thanks JP,
The "/" was part of the problem. The other was I have to make 2 variables for the path, one http://www, for the java call, and the other the root usr/www/htdocs for the "if (e-", all works now, thanks all.
