The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

CGI and DBI "cache' problem?

Asked by slok in Perl Programming Language

Tags: , , ,

I got the following CGI program which takes in one field 's_off_no' from a query from.

Problem is it only works one time and after that, even though I am submitting different queries values, it is still using the very first value to do the database queries.

any suggestions?


=============================================

do 'dbi-lib.pl';



use CGI ':standard';
use DBI;
use strict;
use vars qw($baseURL);

# Declare base URL for return from this page
$baseURL = "../index.html";

 my $q = new CGI;
 my $user = $q->param('user');
 my $passwd = $q->param('passwd');
 my $action = $q->param('action');
 my $s_off_no = $q->param('s_off_no');


printHead('TDPS - Delete Offence');

# check that user is logon
if (($user eq '') || ($passwd eq '')) {

  goLogon();
  return;
}


print EOM;
table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=100%>
tr>
td>
EOM

searchform();
queryresult($s_off_no);


print EOM;
hr>
EOM

print EOM;
/td>
/tr>
/table>
EOM

printclose();



sub searchform {
   
print EOM;

form action="query.pl" method="post">
input type="hidden" name="user" value="$user">
input type="hidden" name="passwd" value="$passwd">
table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
tr>
td colspan="2" class="pagetitle">Delete Offence Details/td>
/tr>
tr>
td>Offence Number/td>
td>input type="text" name="s_off_no" size="5" maxlength="5"> input type="submit" value="Search">/td>
/tr>
/table>
/form>

EOM


}



sub queryresult {

#my $s_off_no = $s_off_no;
     my ($s_off_no) = @_;

     
     
    my $debug = 1; # 0 to off, 1 to turn it on        
    my $results;

    my $dbuser = '111';
    my $dbpasswd = '222';
   

       
    # Query to check if driver exist
    my $query1 = "select veh_reg_no from offence " .
                 "where off_no = $s_off_no";    

    # Database DBI driver name
    my $dbname = "DBI:Oracle:";

    # Create database handle

       return;
    } else {

      # transaction control is *required* here, hence set OFF
      $dbh->{AutoCommit} = 0;
    }

    if ($debug == 1) {
      print("
query1: $query1");    
    }
    $results = run_statement($dbh,$query1,"Y");
    if ($results == 0) {
        printErrors('Invalid Offence No.!');
        return;
    } elsif ($results == -1) {
        $dbh->rollback;
        $dbh->disconnect;
        return;
    } else {
   
      $dbh->commit;
      $dbh->disconnect;
      print("
$results");
    }
}


sub run_statement {

    my ($dbh,$sql,$getNo)=@_;
    my $new_offNo;

    # Create a statement handle - prepare the statement
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
    if (!$sth) {
        showSQLerror("Preparing SQL statement");
        return (-1);
    }

    # Execute the statement against the database
    $sth->execute;
    if ($DBI::errstr) {
        showSQLerror("Executing SQL Statment");
        $sth->finish;
        return (-1);
    }

    if ($getNo eq "Y") {
        ($new_offNo) = $sth->fetchrow;
    } else {
        $new_offNo = 0;
