Re^2: everyauction script error bidding errors

[simonwilliams]

Is this section the problem because what it is im trying to do is;

my ($alias, $email, $bid, $time, $add1, $add2, $add3) = &read_bid($bid
+s[0]);

This section reads bid number 0 which in my case is the seller in my .dat files so bid 1 would be the first bidder. I need the script to read each individual bid however many there may be i.e 1 to 22 and pick out if the member who is logged in as form{'ALIAS'} has placed a bid which has been outbid. By using this code i can manualy enter the bidders bid in order however this is no good i need somthing to automatically do this;

my ($alias, $email, $bid, $time, $add1, $add2, $add3) = &read_bid($bid
+s[1]); ----- what ever number the bidder is

which i thought this section did;

for (my $i = $#bids; $i > 1; $i = 1) {
       my ($alias, $email, $bid, $time, $add1, $add2, $add3) = &read_b
+id($bids[$i]);
$time = sort ({ int $a <=> int $b } $time);

Try ...

if (@bids > 1){
  for my $bid (1..$#bids){
    my ($alias, $email, $bid, $time, $add1, $add2, $add3) = read_bid($
+bids[$bid]);
  }
}

As noted elsewhere, your sort on a scalar will not do what you are trying to do, since sort() works on a LIST.
