I am new to creating forms and am using BigNoseBird.com's BNBFORM = All-In-One Form Processing Script. I am supposed to be able to 1. set up = the form to send me an email when someone fills out the form and 2. = output the data to a file.=20 =20 I had no trouble with part 1.=20 =20 For part 2, I want to send the data to a place where I can get it and = use it in Excel but I'm not sure if this file is being created. If it is = being created, I don't know where it is. =20 This is the line in the form that mentions the output file: <input = type=3D"hidden" name=3D"outputfile" value=3D"form1"> =20 This is the way BNB shows it in the readme file. BNB's readme file says: = =20 Outputfile tells the system you want to log information ans what to name = the file. The script will create the file with proper permissions for = you. *** You can also specify the actual path to the file if you will be = running this outside of the main cgi-bin directory or if you want the = data elsewhere. =20 How should I set up my form? Thanks in advance for any help you can give = me. =20 Cindy |

Im running a CGI script (Ive emailed it home, & it works fine) but at = work, I get=20 " internet Explorer cannot open internet site (url of script) The server returned an invalid or unrecognised response." anyway, The debugging programmes ive got aint going. in CGI - I use the Perl Debugger _ i get 2-3 pages of errors, However i = cant "see" the 1st page - Only the last page (all the "errors" mentioned = - are correct - Ie, they're not errors..=20 No errors come up on the web-page & the server logs say a normal "200" = code.. on the request Have you any ideas on how to actually get the Perl errors, to display = on-screen ? Ive got the usual - warnings, & fatals to browsers etc... any ideas ? Fustrated. G. |

Hi there, I had a thawt (would wonders come too soon ?) I had apparently associated CGI files with TEXT-PAD - LOL ive re-associated it with the Perl compiler - so things are back to = normal. (I wonder how it is so easy to change association types - if i didnt = notice ? - & no one else uses my work PC..) G. "unrecognised response" Hi there - earlier today, my CGI scripts were OK - They were working.. but now - Ive re-booted my work Pc - & now whenever i go into a cgi / Perl = script it says "The server returned an invalid or unrecognised response" my Savant main scren says the request ius status "200" (normal).. any ideas ? =20 G. sav...@ya... |

Gordon, the only way I managed to get a Perl script containing the flock command to run on Windows/Savant was to remove/negate the flock command in every instance. The Perl scripts then ran just fine without the flock in them. I found the same happened when I used Windows/ Apache combination, so gather from this that it's Windows itself that doesn't support the flock command? -- Cheers, Nickie mailto:nic...@fr... |

Hi - Ive got MIRC & a HTML version - site, to access the mIRC chat.. The ones ive got - "load" a server - some IP number - to log into the = room.. Is there any CGI / Perl script i can d/load to do the same thing on my = Savant system ? - NOT going through another server etc.. So when im online, we can have live chats with people. I dont need seperate "rooms" etc., - It could be useful - but i only need = just the one room/channel. G. |

Ive done a quick test of my system :-
& have added these to my cgi script - i'll add them at home later - =
They'll do for me. :-
if ($ENV{SERVER_SOFTWARE} =3D~ !/^savant/ig){
flock(INF,2);
}
Basically seeing if its a "savant" - & ignoring the flock..
I'll test it further - at home..
However - Would it be better, to test for the HTTP_USER_AGENT ?:-
HTTP_USER_AGENT 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 95; IR-v1.0.0)=
'
- & ignoring all 'Windows' ?
But i guess theres a 'windows' that works on Linux / Unix systems ?
any further ideas ? - To develop 1 system, to work for all users...=20
just a thought.. - I guess i'm the only one using Savant to 'test' on at =
home, & comes accross this situation ?

The UNIX implementations of Perl support flock (mainly because flock() is
a native UNIX system call). The version of Perl that ships with Savant is
a couple versions older than the most recent - if you haven't already, you
might consider going to activestate.com and downloading/installing a newer
version.
I honestly doubt that any version of Perl on Win32 supports flock, but
I've been known to be wrong before about this sort of thing.

Michael, I often find that i create new cgi / perl scripts using savant - Which is a great system (usually).. I have 1 simple request. Savant doesnt implement / use the "Flock" command for Perl scripts - While other servers do use that - or it is required - So files wont be deleted accidentally. IDEA / REQUEST :- Is it possible for Savant - Instead of bringing up an error screen when encountering the 'flock' command. - Can Savant just ignore it, & continue on with the script ? So we can easily use scripts on or off savant - with little or no need to put the # in front of every flock command, or take it out when sending the files elsewhere. G. Lamont ===== G. Stewart New Zealand chat & Discussion group email new...@ya... for details. |

print "<!--#exec cgi=3D\"bannerside.pl\" -->\n"; in my normal SSI server my CFGI script simply prints the above - & it = works fine... How do you do that with no SSI ? Ive tried variants on :- ---------------------------- You could do: print `/my/prog arg1 arg2`; or print qx(/my/prog arg1 arg2); or system "/my/prog", "arg1", "arg2"; However, system() might not display when you THINK it will -- be careful with that one. ---------------------- G |

Without using a module/poackage.. is there a way on Savant, to 'call' another CGi file from within a CGI = file ? Basically, Im going from a site that has SSI, to a site with NO SSI... & I know Savant has no SSI, so the procedure would be the same.. Basically, I want to=20 :- do my script.. :- 'call' / 'activate' an 'ad.cgi' / 'ad.pl' script,=20 Then resume my original script (CGi/Perl) from where i left off.. G. |

CGI - perl ?
Hi there, Im using system("del $final"); to delete the file file in the =
variable $final.
i *want* the file to be deleted, however its read-only, & my system is =
unable to delete it.
In experimenting with the Perl "chown" command, but the docs dont say much =
on how to use it.
Please advise..

ive got the same files at home & work - But, at work, i get the error :-
No write permission to sdbm file at C:\Savant\Root\cgi-bin\radc2\createtabl=
e2.cgi line 43, <FOO> line 1.
The line 42 shows :-=20
dbmopen (%DBM, $dbm_file, O_RDWR) or die ("Could not OPEN DBM file: $!");
The line 43 shows :-=20
$DBM{$key} =3D $val or die ("Unable to add key: $!");

Has anyone got BLAT going ? Ive managed to send a file using BLAT on savant, but not an email = message... Someone suggested :- (using perl) --------------------------------------------- you can do: open (BLAT,"|blat - -to user@d... -subject test"); print BLAT "this is the message body."; close (BLAT); no need to use a file there, just replace "this is the message body." with = a variable containing the text of your message :) The close command on BLAT sends blat the signal that there's no more input (like the "[ctrl]+Z" in = the help file). --------------------------------------------- But ive tried it at work, but it aint going..

--- Michael Lamont <la...@he...> AYE - The savant-discuss list is open again :-) Im getting messages from both groups... Michael - Ive just found a kewl programme called "blat" - http://gepasi.dbs.aber.ac.uk/softw/Blat.html Basically, it allows you to send e-mail a text-file (on your hard-drive) - & sends it oin-line (as a normal email) could also send non-text messages - But its a bit late - 2:15 a.m. - Off to bed.. - But i tried it & it works. to those that want to send email - what i figured out / thought of.. :- Use your perl script to create a text-file of your email you want to send - & then re-direct to blat - to send it. Although - What if 2 - 3 people do it at once - all get the wrong messages (havn't figured it out as yet) But as i said, - Im off to bed - Glad to see these groups up & running.. Goodnight.. PS - Michael - I THINK the website said the source-code is available - not sure - You may be given ideas on how to develop Savant.

On Windows 98 I used the following to setup .pl and .cgi in the Windows =
Registry but on Windows ME there is no Script Map. How do I do this =
procedure in Windows ME. Right now all I get is a blank DOS box instead =
of actually running perl program.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
System
CurrentControlSet
Services
W3SVC
Parameters
Script Map
1.. Select the key "Script Map". From the edit menu choose "New" then =
"String Value".=20
2.. Name the new value ".pl" (no quotes) and click okay.=20
3.. Double-click on the ".pl" you just created and enter=20
"C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s" for its value (without the quotes), =
making sure the s's are lower case. If your path to the perl interpreter =
is not the same as the default above, adjust it accordingly.=20
4.. Close the registry and restart your computer. Restart the web =
server if it doesn't start automatically.=20
