Hi, All: I encounted one situation which seems wield to me. I retrieved a set of data from mySQL database and try to diplay in a html form. I found that one field with the string which has " in it cannot be displayed properly. the code is as follows:
#####retrieve the data from Table order_record####### my $dbh=DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:ordering','yxc','9cvpt') ||die "unable to connect: $DBI::errstr"; my $sql="SELECT * FROM order_record WHERE reqID = $order_ID"; my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) || die "unable to prepare $sql:$DBI::errstr"; $sth->execute(); ####display one of the data######## <TD bgColor=#ffffcc height=18 width=76><INPUT name=product_Name size=25 value="$p_name"></TD> The problem is given by $p_name. The original data for $p_name retrieved from database is, for example, 8"X10", but $p_name is only displayed as 8. It seems anything after " is eaten up. Any idea.
