I have managed to build up a bit of perl to generate a html select element for my form.
It uses static quantities for the list, and compares them with the database hash, if they match then it makes the option tag 'selected'.
If the quantity happens to be 1, I want the name of the option tag to be 'Individual', otherwise the name is the actual number, ie 5,10,25,50 or 100.
Problem is at present, is if the db hash contents are empty, then it will set ALL my option tags to say 'Individual'.
See what I am getting at?
@quantities = ('1','5','10','25','50','100');
foreach(@quantities){
print "<option value=\"$_\"";
if ($userRecord{$pack_qty}==$_){
print " selected";
}
print ">";
if (($userRecord{$pack_qty}==1)){# show name 'individual' for qt
+y 1 else show number
print "Individual</option>";
}else{
print "$_</option>";
}
}
Can someone shine the light of knowledge & wisdom upon my brow?
