rindolfstrugglingintern: oh my god!
rindolfstrugglingintern: this code looks really bad.
strugglinginternheh...
rindolfstrugglingintern: if ($records eq 0 ) - don't you want ($records == 0)?
rindolfstrugglingintern: do you have unit tests?
rindolfstrugglingintern: and you should factor it better.
rindolfstrugglingintern: and possibly use Template Toolkit or something.
rindolfstrugglingintern: and you may have some HTML-injection (or XSS) problems.
Ani-_rindolf: and probably SQL injection problems.
rindolfAni-_: indeed!

ologyIt's not scary or amazing at all.

Ani-_rindolf: what do you find scary?
Ani-_rindolf: that experienced programmers can tell it? Or the code itself?
Ani-_I would disagree on the first one but agree on the later! :)
rindolfAni-_: no, that I'm so experienced.
rindolfAni-_: I hope I don't sound out as a snob.
ologynarcissism is fun
