RE: RE: Re: Linking Forms with CGI

I was just thinking, by the way. The examples I've seen, so far,created forms within the PERL-CGI script itself. But I have a ready ".htm" file which is a form whic I created in Dreamweaver 3. And I have this certain database in mySQL. Is it possible for me to use the FORM I created in Dreamweaver, and just call the cgi file to process the form?

You shouldn't have a problem with that. Just make sure your FORM tag has ACTION pointing to your cgi script. `<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="pathtoscript/somescript.cgi">` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Of course there is a way to use the form you created. Let's suppose the form calls a script named test.cgi. In this script you write: `use CGI qw/:cgi/;` [download] Then you may use the param('name') where name is the form-element name in your page	[reply] [d/l]
