Hi All? I been going round and round with an issue on a very simple cgi exercise. I?m attempting to post data from a web form and store it in a field on a rev stack. Everything appears to work with the exception of saving text to a fld on the rev stack, saving new cards in the rev stack, and pulling text out of flds that are not on the first card of the stack.
I had this posted on the forum but then saw the post this morning on the list about more ?eyes? on the mailing list so I thought I?d try here too. :-) Thank you Klaus, Mark, and Richard for jumping in so far! Couple things I?ve noticed that seem a bit strange. First, if I have multiple ?put? commands pulling text from fields on different cards, the rev cgi only will pull the text from the first card. If I add multiple fields to the first card, and pull the text from these fields, all on one card, it will pull the text out of the fields. It is as if the rev cgi will not go beyond the first card of the data.rev stack. Also, if I increase the number of ?create new card? commands in the text cgi script, it will report back that it created the cards, but if it does, they are only temporary and not saved. So here?s the description of what I have been doing: One stack ? Data.rev It contains three cds with one fld on each cd. CGI text script- postdata.cgi #!rev on startup put "Data.rev" into theStack put empty into theTerm repeat until length(theTerm) = $Content_Length read from stdin until empty put it after theTerm end repeat if theTerm = "" then put "You don't have any data stupid!" into buffer else if there is no stack theStack then put "No stack of that name." after buffer --put cr & theStack after buffer else put theTerm into theTermsArray split theTermsArray by "&" and "=" put urlDecode(theTermsArray["terms"]) into theIdentifiedTerm end if put "content-Type: text/plain" & cr & cr put "number of cards:" & the number of cards of stack theStack & cr before buffer set the destroyStack of stack theStack to true set the defaultstack to theStack create card create card create card --it appears rev creates the cards, but they are not saved put it put "number of cards:" & the number of cards of stack theStack & cr before buffer put buffer & cr & theIdentifiedTerm & cr & theStack & cr & cd fld "thedata2" of cd 2 of / stack theStack & cr & cd fld "theData" of cd 1 of stack theStack / put theIdentifiedTerm into cd fld "theData2" of cd 1 of stack theStack --put the result --put cr & cd fld "thedata" of cd 1 of stack theStack after buffer --put cr & cd fld "thedata2" of cd 2 of stack theStack after buffer -put cr & cd fld "thedata3" of cd 3 of stack theStack after buffer save stack theStack put buffer close stack theStack quit rev end startup HTML Web Form- postdata.html <html> <head> <title>Sending data to rev stack</title> </head> <body> <form action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/postdata.cgi"; method="post"> <p> <h2>Send this data to the rev stack:</h2> <p> <input type="text" name="terms" value="enter text here" size="35"> <p> <input TYPE="reset" VALUE="Reset"> <input type="submit" value="Send Text"> </form> </body> </html> Permissions Set on ?server? ?

If anybody sees anything I missed, I?d be greatly appreciative!
