PHP is what I use. www.php.net is easier than anything I've found on perl.
See also database language on the slightly confusing www.mysql.com. PHP
database query looks like this:
$myquery = "SELECT table.field FROM table WHERE table.field =
'$variable'";
$result = mysql_db_query($db, $myquery, $connection) or die
("myquery failed.");
$arr = array();
$x = 0;
while(list($a) = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$arr[$x] = $a;
$x++;
}
Variables are GETed or POSTed automatically with the form on submit. You
can use regex's also.
While this is off-topic re Perl, it's also a good idea to have an
informative subject line, like: "Parsing HTML form output: to use or not to
use Perl?" that is the question!
