Hello from Russia
How can I set a name for some file? Here is some code from my script.
sub set_cyk3{
my $name=join(,@_);
$name=date/$name;
my $c_a=val1=$value1,val2=$value2;
my $cookie=cookie(-name='something',
-value=$c_a,
-expires='+30m');
print header(-type=application/octet-steam,-cookie=$cookie);
}
You should send an additional header info:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=yourfilename.ext
but I don't know how to sent it in CGI header() function. It may be
somewhat like this:
print header(-type=application/octet-steam,
-disposition=attachment; filename=yourfilename.ext,
-cookie=$cookie);
but not sure. Check in CGI.pm
set_cyk3(readme.doc);
open(FILE, dirnicecool/readme.doc) || die(Cant open data file);
binmode STDOUT;binmode FILE;
print FILE;
close(FILE);
The browser promts to save the file with the name start.cgi(it is the
name of the script) but I want it to be readme.doc
That is the problem.
And what is Content-Disposition ?
Excuse my English, it leaves much to be desired.

hi jason
after looking at your code, and not typing it in and trying it out, here
are some of the problems i see with it:
problem: what if a user passes a value of 0 in one of the required
fields?
let's say one of your required fields is 'number_of_kids'. some people
may not have any, and therefore may enter '0'. your code checks to see
if a required field is true/false. your code will not accept a value of
0 (it will think it's false, even though it's a valid answer).
instead of checking to see if a field is true/false, check to see if
it's defined, then check to see if it contains a minimum number of
characters.
problem: if there is an error, you're not sending the appropriate header
command.
if you just try to print HTML without calling $query-header, the result
will be an internal server error.
problem: what if your parameters are multivalued?
assume for the moment your cgi is called like this:
/cgi-bin/whatever.cgi?name=fliptoplang=perllang=english
will your code handle these values the way you want?
here are my recommendations:
1) put the parameters you're looking for into a list like this: (key1,
value1, key2, value2, key2, value3, ...)
2) create a parameter hash from this list with values being either
scalar or references to arrays:
%parameters = (
key1 = value1,
key2 = [ value2, value3]
);
3) check each key's value(s) (if it's required, ie.- not NULL) to see
that they're defined and have a minimum length.
if you haven't already seen it, i'd recommend reading the tutorial i'm
working on which explains how to do all of these things. it can be
found at http://www.peacecomputers.com/addressbook_toot-intro.html.
Re: Required Fields Module
Excellent points - Thanks for pointing them out! I'll check out your
tutorial soon (took a quick glance earlier this afternoon and it looks very
thorough, and a good read! Thanks! :)).
I forgot the print $query-header part of the code. I also updated the code
to accept '0' values by grepping within the keywords. I currently don't
have to worry about multivalued parameters - I don't design my forms that
way.

Oops - found another little tweak - it should be $formHandle-param instead
of $formHandle-keywords (unless your form is using an ISINDEX search).

Re: SQL problem...
if you are trying to modify records that already exist you need to use
UPDATE instead.
insert is for adding new records, in which case the WHERE portion of the

Is there a place on the web where there are examples for the foreach? Basically I have an array of X elements and I want to go from the first element (is it zero?) to the last. I have a variable containing the number of elements in the array. If the array has 22 elements does it go from 0 to 21 or 1 to 22? /snip -- Michael L.
