I am writing a CGI Script like the guestbook.cgi script.
I want following actions to occur:
a. Menu item calls my script (cgi).
b. Script displays a menu with four items on it.
c. Menu items calls form (sub routine) i.e.,
sub entry_form { my $q = shift; my $url = ""> my $form =
<<E_FORM;
<h3>Hello!</h3> <form action="" method="post"> <p><b>My name is</b>: <input type="text" name="name"/></p> <p><b>My E-mail is</b>: <input type="text" name="email"/></p> <p><b>Message</b>:</p> <p><textarea cols="30" rows="6" wrap="virtual" name="message"></p> <p>Type your message here. </textarea> <input type="submit"></p> </form> E_FORM $form;
} d. I want to use my %input vice my $q. e. I want the hash receive the input from the form.
f. I do not know if the syntax shown in example in 'c' above
will work or do I need something like:
print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"fname\"
value=\"$input{'name'} \"
size=15 maxlength=20>"\n; In other words, I want a self contained script (the script
displays forms, process form info, and sends mail, etc).
see attached file guestbook.cgi
