FN-FORUM: search.pl help

date posted 8th March 2006 08:19

I have a form that uses this:


Text to Search For:
Boolean:
AND
OR
Case
Insensitive
Sensitive



to call a script.

However the customer doesn't like the fact that it asks you to choose
'and' or 'or' and 'insensitive' or 'sensitive'. However if I just
comment out these items or remove them from the form the results page
doesn't display any results.

My question is, is there a line of code that I can include in the action
line or somewhere that tells the results page which options have been
chosen by default without having the options appear on the page. Or will
I have to get the perl script rewritten to make this happen? If the
latter is there anyone on this list that wants to change a PERL script
and if so how much do you charge?

This was only meant to be a simple task with an off the shelp PERL
script - but you can pretty much guarantee that when you throw a little
extra in for a valued customer they will always want it slightly
different to the standard setup ;-) I normally leave all scripts to the
experts but this was such a simple job...
