Eugh.. got a REALLY annoying XML::Simple problem. Basically, if only one results is found, it just crashes the script (doesn't die, it just gives a blank page!).... can anyone see a problem here? The bit in red has had to be set to 1, cos if I set it to > 0, it just gives me a blank page.
It seems to be down to the first variable being accessed, but I can't work out why. Using Data::Dumper prints out the first entry, which seems to all be ok. As soon as I try to refrence it (even without the loop), with something like;
.. it doesn't print it out (not even the Listing: path) ... just gives me a blank page.
This is driving me mad
The routine is as follows ($keyword holds the corect value), and is called with;
..code is;
sub overture_run {
my $keyword = $_[0];
my $Limit = 10;
my $page = get("http://xml.uk.feed.overture.com/d/search/p/feed/xml/uk/ctxt/?mkt=uk&maxCount=11&adultFilter=clean&Partner=feed_xml_uk_ctxt&Keywords=$keyword");
if ($page !~ /Listing rank/) { return 'none found'; }
# parse the page...
my $ref = XMLin($page);
# grab the number of results we have...
my $track_hits = $ref->{ResultSet}->{numResults};
# now lets go through, and create the HTML for it...
my $html_links;
if ($track_hits > 1) {
for (my $count = 1; $count <= $track_hits; $count++) {
# get the variables all setup...
my $Description = $ref->{ResultSet}->{Listing}->[$count]->{description};
my $Title = $ref->{ResultSet}->{Listing}->[$count]->{title};
my $URI = $ref->{ResultSet}->{Listing}->[$count]->{ClickUrl}->{content};
my $ClickURL = $ref->{ResultSet}->{Listing}->[$count]->{siteHost};
# put the links into HTML format...
$html_links .= Links::SiteHTML::display('overture_link', { Description => $Description, Title => $Title, URL => $URI, ShowURL => $ClickURL });
}
}
# now lets send it back to the template....
$html_links ? return Links::SiteHTML::display('overture_search', { results => $html_links } ) : return '';
}
PLEASE someone help me here. I'm going out of my mind
TIA
