    Unhappy script error, help!!!

    I am trying to display my records from an oracle database with the code section below:

    while(@row=$sth->fetchrow_array)
    {
    ($fac,$dept,$deg,$major,$credits)=@row;
    print "<tr>";
    print "<td>$fac</td>";
    print "<td>$dept</td>";
    print "<td>$deg</td>";
    print "<td>$major</td>";
    print "<td>$credits</td>"; #line 30
    print "</tr>\n";
    }

    but i always get an error that says 'Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at status.cgi line 30.'

    what must i do to solve this and get the results printed out?? I've been trying for quite long and nothing works, please help!!!

    print "<td>".$credits."</td>";
    This and what the original poster had do the exact same thing.

    Casy, the error you're getting is because the value for the variable $credits is undef. You'll need to have it default to an empty string instead of the undefined value.
    Code:
    $credits ||= '';
    for(split(//,'))*))91:+9.*4:1A1+9,1))2*:..)))2*:31.-1)4131)1))2*:3)"'))
    {for(ord){$i+=$_&7;grep(vec($s,$i++,1)=1,1..($_>>3)-4);}}print"$s\n";

    lol sorry

    <------------noob

    But...I'm confused.......How can undef make a concatenation error????????? If it's undef then it just prints nothing!!!

    Try

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    $value = undef;

    print "$value";

    output: " " <-----------nothing

    !!!????!!!????

    Now try it with warnings enabled, which they always should be.
    for(split(//,'))*))91:+9.*4:1A1+9,1))2*:..)))2*:31.-1)4131)1))2*:3)"'))
    {for(ord){$i+=$_&7;grep(vec($s,$i++,1)=1,1..($_>>3)-4);}}print"$s\n";

    yeah,
    use of uninitialised value in string
    not in concactenation!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It is a concactenation error, which means perl is finding a . somewhere..... probably in $credits dont you think

    lol

    Your example doesn't mention concatentation because you havn't concatenated anything. Replace with this line and see.
    Code:
    print "foo $value";
    which means perl is finding a . somewhere..... probably in $credits dont you think
    Don't confuse variable interpolation with evaling. A period occuring in an interpolated string will not be interpreted as a concatenation operator.
    for(split(//,'))*))91:+9.*4:1A1+9,1))2*:..)))2*:31.-1)4131)1))2*:3)"'))
    {for(ord){$i+=$_&7;grep(vec($s,$i++,1)=1,1..($_>>3)-4);}}print"$s\n";

    I have read it. And I've answered it. And I've answered you. I'm not sure what you don't understand anymore.

    she said she got an error saying concactenation error, an undef variable does not produce a concatenation error!

    It does if warnings are enabled. So... (a very mild amount of deductive thinking required here) the original poster must have warnings enabled.

    not concactenation
    The original poster's, or your example. Because the error message posted by the OP does say concatenation.
    for(split(//,'))*))91:+9.*4:1A1+9,1))2*:..)))2*:31.-1)4131)1))2*:3)"'))
    {for(ord){$i+=$_&7;grep(vec($s,$i++,1)=1,1..($_>>3)-4);}}print"$s\n";

    The original poster says she gets a concatenation error.....you say it is because a variable is undef. However....if you try my example you will find that an undef variable produces the error "use of unitialised value" not "concactenation".
    Understand???

    Yes, I do understand. I understood 8 posts ago where I already told you why.
