What I am trying to accomplish is to restructure the code to write data gathered from an html form to a user selected directory from the same form...
$catagory
this is selected by the user so if the user wanted to select catagory x, then data would only be sent to directory x, or if catagory y was selected, then data would be sent to directory y.
# Define Variables
$basedir = "$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT_OLD'}/www/myfile";
$baseurl = "http://www.whatever.com/myfile";
$cgi_url = "http://www.whatever.com/cgi-bin/perl.pl";
$mesgdir = "messages";
$datafile = "data.txt";
$mesgfile = "myfile.html";
$ext = "html";
$title = "My File";
# Done
This only sends data to the specified location...only one directory, I was hoping that I could some how change it to write to a user selected directory(1 out of 27 directories)
The original code was from a friend who modified Matt Wright's WWWboard code a little to have seperate output from being clumped together. I thought if that was possible, I could modify it further by sending data to a selected directory by the user.
If no one can help me, then please say so, but if someone can help, then let me know what I can do. I have some books on perl and cgi but they are dated 97 or eairler and I can't seem to wrap my head around them.
Please forgive me, I am frustrated and cannot seem to understand scripting, let alone learn it or even afford to have someone to write it for me.
Maybe I shouldn't even be here since I have no understanding of scripting.
