See CGI 101 which has simple examples. Your original code prints output before header which is no doubt going to cause you problems.	[reply]

Your question could be seen to require clarification because the example you posted will just manually print a header (since you use CGI you can use it to print the header for you) and display an text input with a predefined value. You have no `<form>` element, and no way of submitting the input to your script. You seem to be missing the very basics of how all this hangs together. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web as well as the CGI documentation (note the clear warnings at the start), Tutorials -> Web Programming I know what I mean. Why don't you?.	[reply] [d/l]

You say i just want to get value Before you can get that, you need to decide FROM WHERE you want to get it.	[reply]

Then your understanding of everything I've linked to is wrong.	[reply]
