Hi All,
I'm configuring DBMan for use as a database to store presentations for a large library. All was going well, until recently. I was vexed by the infamous $db_userid "feature", but I found the FAQ here and fixed the problem (and felt pretty stupid, too).
Now, though, I have a problem which I cannot make heads or tails of. I can submit records to the database, but for some reason, instead of using the pipe character (|), the script uses four tilde characters (~~~~) to separate each record. And worse, it places two tidles (~~) between each character in the record!
It looks like this:
~~~~H~~i~~g~~h~~ ~~S~~c~~h~~o~~o~~l~~/~~P~~S~~O~~~~B~~l~~a~~H~~~~~~~~~~~~~~G~~r~~a~~d~~u~~a~~t~~e~~ ~~S~~t~~u~~d~~e~~n~~t~
~s~~~~2~~4~~-~~M~~a~~r~~-~~1~~9~~9~~9~~~~1~~.~~5~~~~.~~5~~~~Y~~E~~S~~S~~S~~S~~ ~~(~~I~~ ~~t~~h~~i~~n~~k~~!~~)~~~~1~~2~~~~S
~~t~~a~~f~~f~~~~G~~e~~n~~e~~r~~a~~l~~ ~~B~~i~~b~~l~~i~~o~~g~~r~~a~~p~~h~~i~~c~~~~a~~d~~m~~i~~n~
Instead of something more like this:
1|Specific Class|POLS| |101|Smith, Earl| | | |admin| |01-Jan-1999|50|Undergraduates|2|2
Any ideas? I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure this one out.
