Hi all,
I don't know very well the terminology involved in my question, so, sorry in
advance for anything.
I used the parse_form routine from FormMail to get all the data passed from
a form to the array $Form, and this array has something I think is called
hash. That is, if a have a field called "fieldname" on my form I can get its
value using $Form{fieldname}.
I write the contents of this array to a file using the following code:
############
open (FHD, "+>>$outname");
print FHD "\n\n";
for $element (@Form{keys %Form}) {
print FHD "$element\n";
}
print FHD "\n[END]\n\n\n";
close FHD;
############
As the experts can see clearly, I only write to the file the values of the
form, and not the hashing keys.
Question #1: How can I get the value of the key, so I can have in output
file something like "key = value" instead of only "value", as the code above
does?
Question #2: I read on an old post to a newsgroup that one doesn't need to
lock a file when appending, because the data to be written will be placed in
a buffer until it's full. Is it true? Or do you recommend to lock the file?
Thanks,
Rafael
