Okay Monks,

I'm still working on this. I thought I had it working, but this just doesn't work. The following sub looks right to me, but the "if" statement is not triggered.

sub filter_good_orgs { 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
       
    $SQL7 = "SELECT * FROM badwords";
    &Do_SQL7;
    $pointer7 = $sth7->fetchrow_hashref;
    $goodorg = $pointer7->{'goodorgs'};
    $lc_org = lc($organization);

    
    @orgs = split /\n/,$goodorg;
    foreach $goodorg (@orgs) {
    
    print "Word: $goodorg, Org: $lc_org Found: $found<br>";
            if ($lc_org =~ /$goodorg/i)  {
               $found = 1;
            } 
        }
        
        print "<br>Found: $found<br>";
        if (!$found) {
        &error_suspect_org;
        }
   
    return;
    
    
} # end filter_good_orgs subroutine

Good org words are listing in the database, one per line:

first
national
bank

The above code returns the following when the organization is First National Bank:

Word: first , Org: first national bank Found: 
Word: national , Org: first national bank Found: 
Word: bank , Org: first national bank Found: 

Found: 
Content-type: text/html

Even if I switch the "if" statement around, it doesn't work.

 if ($goodorg =~ /$lc_org/i)  {
               $found = 1;
            }

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
