Hey Everyone, 
 
I have a strange problem. 
 
I have been working with mysql and dbi most of the day, I am just new to
it all.  
 
I am able to connect my  database using the DBI module. When I run the
script on my command line it runs fine, and I get the data that I asked
for. But when I try to run this through a web browser, the cgi script
seems to stop in the middle and not print out any more text or data. 
 
By placing simple text messages between the commands, I worked out that
the script stops outputting data after the 'prepare' statement. 
 
EG. 
 
 
Use DBI; 
 
Print "dbi"; 
 
$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:mydb');
 
print "connect"; 
 
$statement = "Select * from customers"; 
 
$sth = $dbh->prepare($statement);
 
print "prepare"; 
 
 
$sth ->execute;
 
$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();
 
The print comments do not appear after 'connect'. Yet if I comment out
the prepare statement, they appear all the way through the script. 
 
Any Ideas? 
 
Emma
