Hello people.
I have installed DBMAN and everything seems to be working.
I am working with a database that has 221 records. I have changed the
%db_def as follows:

db_def = (
ID => [0, 'numer', 5, 8, 1, '', ''],
Type => [1, 'alpha', 40, 255, 1, '', ''],
Description => [2, 'alpha', 40, 255, 1, '', ''],
OtherDesc => [3, 'alpha', 40, 255, 1, '', ''],
Price => [4, 'numer', 10, 15, 1, '', ''],
Postage => [5, 'numer', 10, 15, 1, '', ''],
Image => [6, 'alpha', 20, 50, 0, '', ''],
Img_Wdt => [7, 'numer', 5, 6, 0, '', ''],
Img_Hte => [8, 'numer', 5, 6, 0, '', ''],
Userid => [9, 'alpha', -2, 15, 0, '', '']
);

I have also changed the html.pl accordingly. The problem is that, when I do a
search to "modify" or "list all" records, the first record looks perfect.
Other records that come after that are not do not have my database field put
in their correct fields. Please go to this url and log in as admin/admin.

Then so a search for canon or xerox, or list all. You will see the result.
I will appreciate any help.
Many thanks people.

Hi Tunji

I see what you are talk about.
I am am not a pro with DBman, but my best bet would be that the problem is in the html.pl.
My advice: re- debug the coding for the html.pl or you can have it viewable on your site at a .txt file.

Then help you much better.

Thanks, my html.pl is now viewable as text at this url: http://www.scandiaimaging.com/dbman/html2.txt
Again, dbman login is at this url: http://www.scandiaimaging.com/dbman/db.cgi
Use the default logon admin/admin

I was looking through my DBman script and I realized something.

see if you default.cfg is set for:

# Auto generate the html forms (1 = Yes, 0 = No).
$db_auto_generate = 1;

if so change it to:

# Auto generate the html forms (1 = Yes, 0 = No).
$db_auto_generate = 0;

Autogenerate was and is set to 0... so this would not be the problem.
Thanks for the effort...

Hi Tunji, the problem you are describing results when you have records in the db file and then add additional fields to the config and html.pl file. The db ends up with the wrong number of | symbols on the records which were in the database before the config changes.

To correct the problem, you'll need to download default.db and open the file in a TEXT editor. Review the entries and determin which records need to have a | (pipe) symbol added. After making the corrections, upload the file to the server again (using ascii text mode) and then access your db.cgi file. The records should display properly.

PS - It may be only one record with the problem.

Thanks, I think you are right!!! I'll try this solution tonight.

Thanks people for your suggestions, which helped me to look deeper into the code. However, I discovered that the problem was something else and I fixed it.
Cheers...
