I posted this in a perl forum and was told you all might be able to help..
I was hoping you might point me in the right direction on a pretty simple problem. I have spent days just trying to see HOW to get this done, let alone doing it. This seems so damn simply but Im running into a brick wall. I dabble in Visual Basic, but I am by no means a 'programmer'. Im a hockey player and I have built a website for some friends of mine and I would like to be able to update some stats. If you have a moment, Please take a look at http://www.goaliebrotherhood.com and go to the members stats page. You see my friends and myslelf listed, along with our stats. Here is my question: How hard would it be to provide some input window so that this each of us could update our stats? Like I said, I dabble in VB and is seems pretty simple. But I dont know anything about CGI or Pearl... I am willing to learn, like I said, this doesnt sound like a mammoth udertaking to me. Its pretty simple. GP = Games played.. just goes up by 1 each update. W + L + T = GP W/L/T = Win, Loss, Or Tie... Probably a radio button and then each value goes up by one, depending on which button is selected. GA = Goals Allowed(not seen).. Total goals allowed in all games. the goals you let in.. Input box adds to the total each update. GAA = Goals Against Average.Total Goals Against divided by games played. Obviously, there would have to be some way to input which user you, are, a password enter field and a button to clear the stats at the start of a new season... Possibly a way to change your password, then I would need a way to add a new user.. I actually did get that part built. Check out the site. Pretty simple, right... WRONG.... First, I started looking for something remotely hosted that I could just hook up. It doesnt exist. while its really simple. its pretty specific to a small niche of people (hockey goalies) and I cant find anything that will do it. So I started learning cgi. how hard can it be to make something this simple? well, I started to get the jist of cgi and found out that my website host (freeservers.com) wont let me into the cgi-bin.. so now I not only need to learn cgi and program the damn thing.. but I need to find a place that will give me a bin, if that exists. Anyway. Thats my dilemma, If you know a good site that can teach me how to do this, I would really appreciate hearing about it. funny thing is, even after all this headache.. I still think this will be better than updating by hand, like I have been doing..
