perl/dbi	Can't Post

i've selected, prepared, and executed my mysql statement... now what i want to do is push everything into an array because i don't want to drastically change my code from what it used to be, deliminated with pipes.

i came up with this code (which is kinda what i want):

Code

$data = $sth->fetchall_arrayref; #grabs all the data and puts it into an array 
foreach $row (@$data){ 
#now how do i split $row into each column?? this is what i theoretically think will work... 
($id,$name,$explain,$question,$yes,$no) = $row->fetchrow() 
}

are my handles right?, is there a different way i should be splitting my rows? I kinda haven't solved the problem, what i want to do is push each row into an array with columns separated with |'s (pipes)... any help?

Hi,

here's just a guess. I cannot verify it, because I don't have the DBI stuff installed. And I don't know exactly what you're trying to do from what you say. So please don't mind if I got you wrong.
As far as I know about the fetchall_arrayref method, it returns a reference to an array of array references, which makes the $row->fetchrow() unneccessary. I guess you want to assign an array to your variables. Since $row is a reference to an array containing all elements in the current row, you can write

Code

($id,$name,$explain,$question,$yes,$no) = @$row;

I hope this will at least point you into the right direction.
