Checking value of variable

[lucknowm]

I am inputting a variable from a checkbox as follows :

input_type = checkbox
name = ora_err
value = unchecked

I want to implement following logic :

if ( $ORA_ERR is checked )
{
do something
}

help.

here is a simple CGI snippet that should help get you on your way:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;

$q = new CGI;
# Build some standard web page elements
print $q->header;
print $q->start_html('check box example');
print $q->h1('Check Box Example');

# Build our checkbox. The first parameter is the name, which can be anything you like.
# The second is the checkbox's default state. The third is the value of the checkbox when
# it is clicked (I use 1 because integers are easy to compare, but you really can use
# whatever you like). The forth parameter is the label associated with the check box.

print $q->checkbox('checkbox1','checked','1','CLICK ME');

# End the HTML page
print $q->end_html;

------------End of Code Snippett---------

The CGI perl module is installed by default. You can get good info about this module from:

http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/lib/CGI.html#CREATING-A-STANDALONE-CHECKBOX

**** NOTE: This is not a complete perl app. It will run from a web browser and you should see a check box.

I hope this helps!
