Haioken has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm trying to create a database search function, giving users the ability to select which fields to search for and which fields to return.
In my examples, @q_return is columns to be returned, the keys from %q_search are the columns to be searched, @q_names contains the data to search for.
The code below works, however, it's directly interpolating variables into the SQL search string
I've modified this code to the following, to allow for placeholders with unknown count using map(). This search no longer returns any rows, with the same data as above. It doesn't die however, so I assume I'm matching the correct amount of variables. What could I be doing wrong here?my $query2 = "SELECT " . join(",", @q_return) . " FROM rma_list WHERE +(" . join(",", (keys %q_search)) . ") = (" . join(",", @q_names) . ") +"; my $sth = $dbh->prepare($query2) or die "Couldn't prepare query: " . $ +dbh->errstr; $sth->execute();
The outpuut from DBI's trace() shows me the following, but I'm unfortunately a little inexperienced to understand it.my $query = "SELECT " . join(",", map { "?" } @q_return) . " FROM rma_ +list WHERE (" . join(",", map { "?" } (keys %q_search)) . ") = (" . j +oin(",", map { "?" } @q_names) . ")"; my $sth = $dbh->prepare($query) or die "Couldn't prepare query: " . $d +bh->errstr; $sth->execute(@q_return, (keys %q_search), @q_names) or die "Could not + perform query: " . $sth->errstr;
Also, I've made an effort to follow etiquette. I hope none of this is out of line. The code is likely ghastly, as I'm still learning the finer details of DBI.DBI::db=HASH(0x1b76164) trace level set to 0x0/2 (DBI @ 0x0/0) in + DBI 1.607-ithread (pid 3392), referer: http://localhost/cgi-bin/temp +.cgi -> prepare for DBD::mysql::db (DBI::db=HASH(0x1b761a4)~0x1b76164 +'SELECT ?,?,?,?,?
