cgi paths 1

[dihollis]

I am trying to configure a script which allows online editing of a table. I am reasonably new to cgi and I don;t understand this line;
$CONFIG{data} = "/usr/home/public_html/path/to/datadirectory";
Have tried everything, have read the readme, also looked through tutorials but it doesn't make sense to me. My url is

any suggestions or can I do it with Java
Thanks in advance

What this means is there is a hash array (also known as an associative array) named CONFIG. One of its names in there is data and data's value is /usr/home/public_html/path/to/datadirectory.

A hash is a convienent way to store name value pairs. E.G., the name is data and its value is /usr/home/public_html/path/to/datadirectory.

To create that hash manually, you could do something like this:

%CONFIG = ( 'data' => '/usr/home/public_html/path/to/datadirectory');


Hope this helps.
