This isn't going to be very helpful, feel free to mod me down:

You don't seem to understand what you're doing, at least this is what your previous question and this one are telling me. Before you settle down to put cgi-code out in the wild, you should undertake the effort of studying the subject a wee bit and to gain some insight into the matter.

I suggest reading Ovids cgi-course, do a bit of Super Searching, scan the Tutorials and google (offsite). A very good source of solutions with explanations to specific problems is merlyns collection of columns (offsite).

To clarify my rant: I don't think you're stupid or some such, I just see that a very, very simple problem in cgi-programming puts you off, without even an idea of a possible solution presented in the question, so don't take this as an insult but a more or less humble advice from someone who allmost always found a solution by reading things generously offered by gentle people, sharing there knowledge for a thank you or nothing.

A good book on programming and/or web-programming won't hurt, though.

kind regards,
