I am trying to get my program to be searchable by date, but it doesn't work. I get an error message in perl, that follows the code I included. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
PERL ---------- @currenttime= localtime(); $y= $currenttime [5] + 1900; $m= $currenttime [4]; $dom= $currenttime [3]; $ydoy= $y*1000 + $m + $dom; print $ydoy; my $dbh= DBI->connect ('DBI:mysqlPP:myd:localhost', 'pass', 'pass') ||die "Could not connect to database: ".DBI->errstr; my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * from food WHERE end_date > $ydoy"); $sth->execute($ydoy); while((end_date > $ydoy) = $sth->fetchrow_array) { print "$start_date\n, $end_date\n, $event\n, $id"; } die $sth->errstr if $sth->err; $sth->finish(); $dbh->disconnect(); ERROR MESSAGE: -------------- can't modify generic gt()) in list assignment at line 31 (which is the fetchrow_array line) repeated HERE: while((end_date > $ydoy) = $sth->fetchrow_array) { print "$start_date\n, $end_date\n, $event\n, $id"; } Thanks again for your help.
