Re: CGI program only recognizes the "puts(1,"....\n") instr

what's happening here, is exw is trying to report an warning saying that
those variables have not been assigned a value. the problem is that your
server (Apache?) won't allow the program to display any output to the
screen, so it crashes. writing CGI in Euphoria is very difficult at first,
since any error output to the screen causes the script to crash. try running
your script on its own ("exw my_script_name.exw") first and see if you have
any errors. if you can output only HTML and have no errors, then your script
should run fine. to prevent unassigned variables from triggering warnings,
use 'without warning' at the top of your script.

another tip - if you're going to use include files in your scripts, you have
to place them in the same directory as the main file, OR include them as the
full path name


here's the fix:

#!c:\Euphoria\Bin\exw.exe

without warning
-- build html page:
   integer fn
   sequence line
   puts(1,"Content-type: text/HTML\n\n") -- most important!
   puts(1,"<html><head>\n")
