Hash of Lists Problem
I've been struggling with the following code now and am about to scream. Can someone please tell me how to pull a list out of a hash that contains lists? my %MsgContents = ( A => [1, 2, 3], B => [4, 5, 6] ); my $single = $MsgContents{B}[0]; print $single; # prints 4 as expected #my... -
Regex needs another set of ii
I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at the following regexes and let me know if there are any problems, including security issues. Handling URLs has proved to be tricky and I'm concerned I'm too forgiving in what I accept. They are from a bulletin board script where the user... -

How To Mark All Messages As Read
I have a message board that I'd like to add a new feature to. Specifically I would like the user to be able to hit a button and have all messages on the board appear as though they've been read, i.e. change the link color to visited. This needs to hold up the next time they view the page. Is... -
