Hi All, I’m relatively new to perl and cgi and have a question about putting together a multi page form.
My goal is to create a form that has multiple pages with a few questions per page so that visitors aren’t dropped into a large single page form that they feel is too daunting and therefore don’t fill it out. I would like the form to write to a mysql database and I’ve read that gathering the information via multiple pages would be done with ‘hidden fields’. My question is: Is it best to create multiple HTML pages containing hidden fields with the last pages’ action submitting to the cgi script, or is it fine to create one cgi script for the entire process? As I said I’m pretty new to scripting this type of thing and any suggestions on the pros and cons of what I’d like to do would be greatly appreciated. I’ll be researching the finer points of writing to mysql and security issues regarding plain text username/password for mysql. Thanks in advance, I appreciate any suggestions. Best regards, Herb..
