Thank you for your reply.
Another Perl monk named Corion mantioned I should use CGI and little while ago. I did resist as the learning curb is already pretty big and having to relearn, well....
I now fully understand the advantages of use CGI now, security and a much better use of variables.
Bellow is my new and improved script. I have debugged though the command line and have had a syntax returned ok msg.
How ever running off of the server I am getting 500 errors.
Can anyone tell me the name of modules this script is using?.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use cgi qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
$CGI::POST_MAX=1024 * 100; # max 100K posts
my $query = CGI->new();
my @names = $query->param;
foreach my $name ( @names ) {
my $value = $query->param( $name );
}
my $organisers_name=('organisers_name');
my $organisers_address=('organisers_address');
my $organisers_homeN=('organisers_homeN');
my $organisers_mobile=('organisers_mobile');
my $organisers_email=('organisers_email');
my $prefered_contact=('prefered_contact');
my $brides_name=('brides_name');
my $brides_number=('brides_number');
my $wedding_date=('wedding_date');
my $bride_organiser=('bride_organiser');
my $suprise=('suprise');

A few things. Firstly cgi-lib is old, very old. Please do not use this, it has some nasty security flaws and IIRC isn't 100% compliant with the CGI specification. Use the CGI module, it will be well worth the short time taken to replace cgi-lib. Secondly, your code is missing:
use strict;
use warnings;
See Use strict and warnings.
On to your question. For your example above, does your script receive the input correctly? If I where you, I'd do the following:
After this is you have further problems please let us know.
Hope this helps. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] [d/l] [select] |
