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];
