Hello, I am a student learning Perl and I have a question regarding redirection. My script works fine with the exception of the redirection. If I leave one field blank it shows the link of the page I want to display. If I leave two fields blank it shows two links to the page I want to display etc. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? The book I am using is CGI/Perl by Diane Zak. This book doesn't explain things clearly. Any help would be appreciated. Attached is my script...
#!c:\phpdev\perl\bin\perl.exe print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; use CGI qw(:standard -debug); #prevent Perl from creating undeclared variables use strict; #declare variables my ($Salesperson, $Sales, $Size, $Rate, $Percentage, @records, @errors +, $errors, $bonus); #assign input items to variables $Salesperson = param('Salesperson'); $Sales = param('Sales'); $Rate = param('Rate'); $Percentage = param('Percentage'); #determine size of @errors array $Size = @errors; #calculate bonus rates $bonus = $Rate * $Sales; if ($Salesperson eq "") { print "Location: http://localhost/cgi-bin/c12ex3b.html\n\n"; } if ($Sales == "") { print "Location: http://localhost/cgi-bin/c12ex3b.html\n\n"; } if ($Rate == "") { print "Location: http://localhost/cgi-bin/c12ex3b.html\n\n"; } else { print "<HTML>\n"; print "<HEAD><TITLE>Patton Industries</TITLE><BASEFONT SIZE=5></HEAD>\ +n"; print "<H1>Bonus Calculation</H1>\n"; print "<BODY>\n"; print "Salesperson: $Salesperson<BR>\n"; printf "Your bonus is: \$%.2f<BR><BR>\n", $bonus; printf "You entered a sales amount of \$%.2f and a \n", $Sales; printf "bonus rate of %.1f%%.<BR>\n", $Rate * 100; print "</BODY>\n"; print "</HTML>\n"; print "</BODY></HTML>\n"; }
