Boy, improvcornartis t, you got me - I forgot all about the db setup config file in rails. I should have mentioned 'config/database.yml' as where you'd need to go set up your database, IF you are using Ruby on Rails.... -
Ooh! And, if I read that right, that also answers how to get the info out of the web page and into the variable! (In other words, that's probably why I'm having trouble getting everything back into the database) Cool, thanks - I'm off playing now! ;-)
(I'll report back if that works, and how it looks, later. If someone else comes along and thinks I'm still in the weeds, feel free to (gently) hit me with a clue stick :-)

... for a little side project at home, I'm writing a ham radio web site in uby/Rails. I started it in Perl and gave up on Perl as I went from the 'display the database information on the web page' to the 're-display the information from the database and allow the user to update the database using the web page'... -
Yes, you should be able to do that, but it will be MUCH easier to do if your database follows the rules for table names.
I'd suggest a look at some of the standard tutorials, or even (gasp) go get the 'official' ruby on rails book - go to http://www.rubyonrails .org/ and find the 'agile web development with rails' book. Shoot, you can even download it (for a price).
Since you ask only about ruby, and not rails, the 'other'...Leave a comment:
