I have a mysql database on our Web server. If I run mysqladmin (via telnet) I can query the database and everything works fine. I run this exact SELECT statement and it returns 189 records.
As I try to do this in Perl, I come across a statement I don't understand. Here's the code and error:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use CGI qw (:standard);
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
my $dbh = DBI->connect(qq{DBI:mysql:f_dir=/usr/local//subscriptio
+ns}, {RaiseError => 1} );
my $sth = $dbh->prepare( q{SELECT email FROM contacts WHERE state
+ = ?} );
my $rc = $sth->execute('OH');
print "Query will return $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS} fields.\n\n";
while (my @result = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
print "@result\n";
}
# check for problems which may have terminated the fetch early
die $sth->errstr if $sth->err;
$dbh->disconnect;
fetch() without execute() at /usr/local/cgi-bin/DBI_mysql_01.pl line 20.(the line that checks for problems which may have terminated the fetch early).
I have DBI installed. DBD::mysql installed.
I can't find this problem in any docs. Can someone please give it a glance and tell me the obvious?
Super thanks -

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).

are good places to start.
