Hello!
I've been trying for several hours to upload a few bits of data (not a file) from an html form to a server, and none of my variants have worked thus far. I've done some web searching, too.
Anyway, here's the form:
<form method="POST" action="mmsrequest"> <pre> UserID: <input type="text" NAME="userid"> Date : <input type="text" NAME="date" value="mm/dd/yy"> Time : <input type="text" NAME="time" value="hh:mm:ss"> <input type="submit"> <input type="reset">
^^^^^ How about changing type to "submit"?
</pre>
</form>
I've tried mmsrequest as a script and as an executable. Full path, etc. In and out of cgi-bin.
Variants tried: method="GET"
I end up with a copy of the script (well, I told the browser not to bother trying to display the executable), instead of having the script run.
method="POST"
I either end up with a "Not Found" or "Method Not Allowed". I've always insured that permissions were rwxrwxrwx, just to avoid any permissions problem, expecting to tighten that up after I got the basic thing working.
I don't particularly care if the script or executable gets the information from the command line separated by ampersands and whatnot, environment variable (QUERY_STRING, or so I understand), or from standard input. However, I do care that the script/program gets run and does get the information somehow, on the server side.
Any suggestions?
Thank you, Chip Campbell
