receiving data from a form 1

[Buddyholly83]

I am playing about with forms and trying to receive some form data from a form post. Im getting no errors but im getting nothin output. Here is the HTML:

<form method="post" action="EsendexAccountEventHandler.pl">
<input type="hidden" name="value1" value="test1">
<input type="hidden" name="value2" value="test2">
<input type="hidden" name="value3" value="test3">
<input type="submit">
</form>

Here is the perl script it posts to:

$length = $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'};
read(STDIN,$data,$length);
print $data;

Think i am not reading in the form vaules correctly, but i was told STDIN would do it?!

Thanks in advance

it all seems o.k.

is your Perl script as follows:-

[b]#!/usr/bin/perl[/b]

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

$length = $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'};
read(STDIN,$data,$length);
print $data;

and set to 755 permissions?


Kind Regards

use CGI.pm ...

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;

$q= new CGI;
print $q->header;
print $q->param('value1');
print $q->param('value2');
print $q->param('value3');

Spend an hour a week on CPAN, helps cure all known programming ailments ;-)

Wasn't running it correctly on IIS.
Thanks for input, using CGI module now and it works a treat!
