CGI and File

[samesale]

Is it possible to create a variable in the program and store it in the file such as ($amount):

open(OUTF,">>card1.out&quot or dienice("Couldn't open car.out for writing: $!"

$amount = "$16";
print OUTF "$FORM{'amount'}\n";
close(OUTF);

Shouldn't be a problem, but if you're looking to save state information have a look at CGI::Session on search.cpan.org

The code is not writing the correct value:

open(OUTF,">>card1.out&quot or dienice("Couldn't open car.out for writing: $!"

$amount = "$16"; ## has the value
print OUTF "$FORM{'amount'}\n"; ## has no value
close(OUTF);

should be:


$amount = "$16";
print OUTF "$amount\n";
close(OUTF);
