Hi,
Experiencing a little, if not more, difficulty in attempting to achieve
what's probably a simple task. Here's the situation.
The user presses a button. The website takes them to a page where they can
sign up for a selected package, entering a username and password. They then
press the "next" button, which sends them to a script which checks a couple
of things, such as if the password's correct in both fields, if the
username's taken, this that and the other. The site (without displaying
another page) must take them to another page, POSTing the information it's
aquired, plus more which were hidden fields in the form. So far i have:
$query = "packed query here";
$query =~ tr/ /+/;
$query =~ s/pack("C", hex($1))/[a-fA-F0-9]/eg;
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$req = new HTTP::Request 'POST','http://url.to.post.to/script;
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content($query);
$res = $ua->request($req);
but what happens next? Will this even do what I want it to? The way I have
the script setup, when it reaches that last line, it executes the default
sub to run through the template file and print data to the browser.
Naturally I don't want it to do that, I want it to either a) tell the user
that something's wrong (which i can deal with), or if everything's ok, then
b) POST data to an URL and forward them to the website involved with the
POST, which will display content on what data it's given.
Does this make sense? Can anyone help me?
Many thanks,
Dan
