Hello everyone:

I have written a perl script to take user inputted zip code and then send email to a sales rep. based on that zip code. Check out http://www.harvestgroupma.com/catalog.htm.

I am having problem with using @CATALOG Array in print "Sendmail..." structure. Does anyone know how to do this?

See code sample...attached file...



Thanks!

Hello Tomsweb,

In the HTML page each checkbox is named Company

In the perl script you are looking for Catalog.

Company != Catalog .

Try changing one or the other to match.

Thanks cornball

Point well taken, cornball...however, in the sample html form I am using at my desktop <see attached> does have catalog consistently named throughout checkbox section of form.

I don't think that is the difference, do you?

Thanks for your answer!

Hello Tomsweb,

Upload the desktop html to the server

as :

my @CATALOG = $q->param('Catalog'); vs the current html file on the server has 'Company' as the name for all checkboxes.

which would work with my @CATALOG = $q->param('Company');


thanks cornball

Sorry Cornball....it still does not work...

Feel free to try as you like. I am sorry this is not working out right now.

Hello tomsweb

The last line of the email should also be:

print SENDMAIL ".\n\n";

just before close (SENDMAIL);

as if I remember correctly this tells sendmail the message is complete.


What part does not work ?

thanks cornball

Cornball...something is hosed and it is almost 9pm on the East Coast. I will come back tomorrow and fuss with it again. I cannot go past 9pm here. Sorry.



thanks for your help!

Hello Tomsweb

I just tried the page on the server and a semi colon appears to be missing at the end of the line 45

as : open(SENDMAIL, "|$sendmailpath") or die "Cannot open $sendmail: $!"; <-- missing

thanks cornball

Cornball, You are the man! Four eyes are often better than 2

Thanks!

Cornball,

I just fixed error and reloaded, but trouble remains. 9 pm East Coast time, must sign off til t'morrow. Sorry. If you wanna keep playing on your west coast?, Go Ahead.
