Hi, I have been pulling my hair due to this annoying error. x(
**************************************************************************** DBI::db=HASH(0x1d2998c)->disconnect invalidates 1 active statement handle (either destroy statement handles or call finish on them before disconnecting) at C:\WEBSITE\script\default.pl line 721. **************************************************************************** It is a Perl CGI script and at line 721 is a simple disconnect command: 721 $DBH->disconnect; 722 723 binmode STDOUT; 724 print "Content-type: text/html\cM\cJ"; 725 print "Content-length: ",length($HTTP),"\cM\cJ"; 726 print "\cM\cJ"; 727 print $HTTP; The error message is straight forward and means that I have an open mySQL handle that is not closed; example: $sth=$DBH->prepare("SELECT ......"); $sth->execute; $DBH->disconnect; <--- should have been a fetch before disconnect. But I am dead sure I have a result collector: $sth=$DBH->prepare("SELECT ......"); $sth->execute; $result = $sth->fetchrow; I only use three functions: prepare, execute and fetchrow. For all intents and purposes, I have reviewed the script line per line and even made sure that each select will give only one result by adding "LIMIT 1" $sth=$DBH->prepare("SELECT ...... LIMIT 1"); arrrrrggggggggg! I am Perl built 626 on win2000. Mysql 3.23.37 I have encountered this kind of errors on Linux+Apache before and I solved it via: $sth=$DBH->prepare("SELECT ......LIMIT 1"); $sth->execute; while ( $result = $sth->fetchrow ) {1}; It appeared to me that even if only one result is to be expected, mysql would throw more than one. or is this a problem with DBD-Mysql module? regards, Jaime --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
