I'm trying to do something that i'm not sure is even possible. I want
to cycle thru an array of MySQL fieldnames and dynamically declare
variables based on those fieldnames.
I can create the array of fieldnames no problem, by just using
"describe" with DBI.
But I can't figure out the declaration part. THis is what i've tried...
foreach $i (@fieldlist) {
$$i = $session->get_query_value('$i');
}
That doesn't work, although that's the gist of what I'm after.
Fieldnames are like "order_id", bill_fname", "ship_lname", etc.
If I were to hard-code these declarations, I would have about 40 lines
that look like:
$order_id = $session->get_query_value('order_id');
$customer_id = $session->get_query_value('customer_id');
$bill_prefix = $session->get_query_value('bill_prefix');
$bill_fname = $session->get_query_value('bill_fname');
The $session-> bit is a function that grabs data of the same name as my
fieldnames from an outside sessionfile.
I am just trying to avoid having to hardcode this stuff in there,
because a) it's alot of code and b) the fieldnames/session variables
will grow and I don't want to have to edit the script every time.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
rory
