1. cgi's and procedures...

Ok people, I will try to be as clear as possible:
The situation:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/cgi.ex">
--CGI script in euphoria (cgi.ex) in a windows webserver (Xitami) called
by a submit form in html
---cgi.ex
begins-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
puts(1,form) - where form is another form, When I click submit, I wanto to
call um()
procedure um()
puts(1,"1")
end procedure
---- end of
cgi.ex---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In words: How do I call a procedure using form if this form is generated by
the cgi ?
(and the procedure is inside the cgi program).
If procedure um() was another euphoria program, no problem....
Thanks
Rubens
2. Re: cgi's and procedures...
Check the request method to decide which to send ?
If the client goes to the link in there browsers(types it or clicks a link)
the "REQUEST_METHOD" environment will be "GET". If it is "POSTED" from a
form, then REQUEST_METHOD will be "POST"
Hope that helps

Robert Szalay

Hi Robert;
This is not the problem. The request method is ok. I'm using post.
The only problem is how to call a procedure inside a cgi.ex file by a form
created by this cgi.ex.

4. Re: cgi's and procedures...
You really only have two ways to do this.
1) Have a separate cgi program (cgi1.ex, cgi2.ex, etc.) for processing
each form.
2) Have a hidden field indicating which form is being processed by
cgi.ex and branch to the appropriate procedure based on that value.
Just a side note from your example: procedures are defined before they
are used, and no "call" statement is needed to invoke a procedure. The
exception is when using routine_id, but I find that to be a non-optimal
solution in a cgi program.

5. Re: cgi's and procedures...
So then does my second post help ?
You need to test the data received from the client.
If there is a query string, then the client submited data.
At wich point you will want to probably look at the data and decide what to
do with it.
I guess it wont hurt for me to release my url.

The chat section is a little broken. The bocazas client is not there
anymore. I'll work on getting that back up there.

ok, this is what I was trying to avoid...

hummm... could be a good option. I have to try. There is no limit of
procedures.
