how can i print an individual field when using the simple perl database sample

[linly]

Using the Simple perl database in Bytes, I have defined my database as follows:

%fields = (
	ID 				=>		[0,		'Link ID:',				'text'],
	UserName	=>		[1,		'UserName:',			'text'],
	Password 	=>		[2,		'Password:',			'text'],
	Level 		=>		[3,		'Level:',					'drop'],
	FullName	=>		[4,		'Full Name:',			'text'],
	Email			=>		[5,		'Email Address',	'text'],
	Location	=>		[6,		'Location',				'text'],
	);

I am using check boxes to choose who I will send an email too, and I want to use the email address, but after 10 hours of trying all what I can think of, I'm still stuck. This is probably a simple question, but its got me stumped.

As written that hash would only hold the info for 1 user. You need to use a hash-of-hashes or an array-of-hashes.

Here's how to access the email address in the hash you posted.

print $fields{'Email'}[1];
