1. Printing to the web browser
Hi
I have been trying to get euphoria to print to a web browser using this code.
puts(1, "Content-type: text/html\n\n")
puts(1, "<html><head><title>Thank You</title></head>\n")
puts(1, "<body bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n")
puts(1,"<br>\n")
puts(1, "<a href=\"http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/economy.txt\">")
puts(1, "</body></html>\n")
but all I get in the web browser is this:
puts(1, "Content-type: text/html\n\n") puts(1, "\n") puts(1, "\n") puts(1,"
\n") puts(1, "") puts(1, "\n")
Does anyone know why this is going on
Also I do php right now but would like to use euphoria in my web pages
any info on how to use euphoria would be helpfull.Thanks

Did you already look at %EUDIR%\HTML\cgi.htm (Euphoria 2.5)?

There are several things going on here, at which any could be at fault.
The first thing you want to do, is ensure that Apache Handles the extention
properly. As most Web Hosts use CPanel, to find out, and rectify this
problem, you do the following:
1.) Login to your CPanel
2.) Depending apon the Theme you are using, you should be able to find the
icon that has the Apache Feather on it, and says Apache Handlers. If you
have any other theme for cPanel, look for Apache Handler as a title. Click on
that.
3.) You will see a list of User Defined Handlers, and System Defined
Handlers. Above that, you'll see 2 edit feilds with an "Add" button, and
below thoes, you'll see a Drop Down (Empty if you have no User Defined
Handlers) With a "Delete" Button underneath the "Add" button. In the
first edit box, type in '.exu .ex .exw .ecgi'. In the second box type in
'cgi-script'. Both of these should be added without the apostraphies.
4.) Once you have done this, click on the Add button, and after a few
moments, it should show up under User Defined Handlers.
This will tell Apache that any files with an extention of .exu, .ex, .exw,
and .ecgi, are to be considered as CGI Scripts, and executed in the fashion,
that most CGI Programs are executed. These include Perl CGI Files, and such.
Next, we move on to the problem with your Script. Everything you entered is
correct. There's no doubt about that. But, you are missing the classic
She-Bang, that is common in Linux Systems. So at the very first line of
the source code, add something like this:
#!/home/eumario/euphoria/bin/exu
This should be the path to where you have the Euphoria Linux Executable
stored in. IT MUST BE AN ABSOLUTE PATH, otherwise, it will not find the
executable.
So it should look like this:
#!/home/eumario/euphoria/bin/exu
puts(1, "Content-type: text/html\n\n")
puts(1, "<html><head><title>Thank you</title></head>")
puts(1, "<body bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n")
puts(1,"<br>\n")
puts(1,"")
puts(1,"</body></html>\n")
That's another common problem. And finally, if your web host is a Linux
server, like most are, you need to access a FTP Client of your choosing, that
supports File Property Modifications. The file should have these properties
set on it:
Owner | Group | Public
[x] Read | [x] Read | [x] Read
[x] Write | [ ] Write | [ ] Write
[x] Execute | [x] Execute | [x] Execute
This is considered chmod filename.ext 755, and without this, linux doesn't
recognize it as an actual executable file, which will often mess up CGI
Scripts.
If you have any more questions, or none of this helps, feel free to post
again.
