in reply to Looking for a simpler DBI solution.
Well, you havent told me what the problem is, but I'll try to help with what I can.
sub add_customer{ my ($company,$fname,$lname,$phn,$b2stre,$b2city,$b2stat,$b2zip,$s2st +re,$s2city,$s2stat,$s2zip) = @_; my ($handl) = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:advanc'); or die "Couldn't con +nect to database: " . DBI->errstr; my $sql = "INSERT INTO customers (Company,FirstName,LastName,PhoneNumber,Bill2Street,Bill2City,Bill2S +tate,Bill2Zip,Ship2Street,Ship2City,Ship2State,Ship2Zip) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?) "; my $sth = $handl->prepare($sql) or die "Couldn't prep statement"; $sth->execute($company,$fname,$lname,$phn,$b2stre,$b2city,$b2stat,$b +2zip,$s2stre,$s2city,$s2stat,$s2zip) or die "Couldn't add customer"; }
changes
- named the insert field names. Dont know if this matters to mysql, but Informix is picky that way
- added "or die" to $sth to catch those before the execute()
- shortened the varnames. not a nit, im just a lazy typist
