It's me with my recipes again...
Thanks for the suggestion about redundant fields. Now I'm trying to do this but I keep getting errors like:

Error Message : Error loading required libraries.
Check that they exist, permissions are set correctly and that they compile.
Reason: syntax error at ./recipe_html.pl line 122, near "}"
syntax error at ./recipe_html.pl line 129, near "}"

This is the code ...
print qq|
<H1 align=center>$rec{'Recipe'}</h1>

<p align=center>$rec{'Flag'}<br>
<b>$rec{'Date'}<br>
$rec{'Source'}<br>
<br>
$rec{'Amount1'} $rec{'Ingred1'}<br>

|;

if ($rec{'Ingred2'}{
print qq|
$rec{'Amount2'} $rec{'Ingred2'}
|;
}

print qq|

<p>$rec{'Description'}

|;
}
----------------
If i remove the "if" statement it works. I'm blind I can't see whats wrong.

Any suggestions?

There is a syntax error in the following line:


It should be:


You have the close off the if statement before inserting the { (bracket).

BTW: If you have telnet access to your account, then you may want to try using the following command line at the prompt:


where your db.cgi file is located. Using this command will show you more information about syntax errors than what is provided with the bug error messages within DBMAN.

Of course, thanks - 5 in the morning it was a bit hard finding that one. Thanks.

And yes, I've got telnet access. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks for the help.

No problem.
