why don't use cgi module? The way you doing now just write text to stdout:

print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"del\" value=\"".$dbdelvalue."\"></td></tr>\n";

don't miss/typo dots and quote, :).

what about using [ code] and [ /code] tags? :)

Let's fix the "leaning tower of Pisa syndrom".
print qq(<input type="submit" name="del" value=".$dbdelvalue."></td></tr>\n);

agree, is more clean and easy to read, but in that case I suggest, shorye, to read perlop documentation for generalized quotes. :)

You don't need the concatenation operator anymore:

print qq(<input type="submit" name="del" value="$dbdelvalue"></td></tr>\n);

ohh, I am sorry, did not explain you properly..........


print qq(<input type="submit" name="del" value="DEL"></td></tr>\n);

I want to replace "DEL" with one of my values is coming from Data base but I want show the "DEL" only the button name.

-Or- in simple term I want to change change the button's VALUE "on click" to my data base value $@row[0]


Please suggest, thanks

do you mean that you want to show the wrod 'DEL' in the button but send a different value to the next script?

try

print qq(<input type="submit" name="del" action="$dbdelvalue" Value="DEL"></td></tr>\n);


Then, in your next script, you could:


use strict;
use CGI;
my $cgi= new CGI;
my $value = $cgi->param('action');

No it does not work :(

Any other way :(

Sorry I got things mixed up.

try this:



print qq(
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="$dbdelvalue" />
<input type="submit" name="del" value="DEL"></td></tr>
);


Then, in your next script:


use strict;
use CGI;
my $cgi= new CGI;
my $value = $cgi->param('action');
