This one has me stumped, and it shouldn't.
I'm trying to validate data from a simple select box:
<select size="1" name="country">
<option selected value='United States'>United States</option>
<option value='Canada'>Canada</option>
</select>
When I do:
foreach my $Item (param())
{
my $input=param($Item);
print "$Item --$input--<br>\n";
}
the data is printed out with the expected leading and trailing '--'.
But when I try to validate the incoming data:
my $Country=param('country');
if ($Country ne 'Canada' || $Country ne 'United States')
{
$Status=1;
$ErrMsg .= "$Mandatory{country} must be either Canada or United
States.<br>";
}
it *always* falls through into the code block.
I've stripped leading and trailing spaces from $Country. I've chomped
$Country.
This is driving me crazy, especially since there are only 2 choices in
the select list, and one of them is already selected.
Am I missing something really stupid here?
