Re: Simple CGI Login

if ($user) { $cgi->start_html; print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; print "well HELLO"; $cgi->end_html; } else { $cgi->start_html; print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n", $template->output; $cgi->end_html; }

I'd be looking to change that to something like this:

if ($user) {
   print $cgi->header,$cgi->start_html,"Hi there!",
         $cgi->end_html;
} else { 
     print $cgi->header,$cgi->start_html,
           $template->output,$cgi->end_html;
}

Printing the content type is handled by the "header" method of the CGI object.

It is preferable to run print the header that way but it doesn't have to be. The problem is when i put a user/pass into the fields and click submit, nothing happens, unlike i think it should.... im the king of all i survey. my kingdom has lots of dust on it	[reply]

Where are you starting the form? What does the form look like? Peter L. Berghold -- Unix Professional Peter -at- Berghold -dot- Net; AOL IM redcowdawg Yahoo IM: blue_cowdawg	[reply]

The form is here and i put it into my html using a HTML::Template VAR later in the code `my $login = "login <input type=\"text\" name=\"user\"> password <input + type=\"text\" name=\"pass\"> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\ +" name=\"submit\">"; ..... $template->param(LOGIN => $login);` [download] Then i try and get the variables using $cgi->param('user'); etc :) im the king of all i survey. my kingdom has lots of dust on it	[reply] [d/l]
