Help! My CGI Won't Run Except on the Server

[Aaron Guy Davies]

I have a cgi I'm trying to run that collects information from a webform
and mails it to me. It works perfectly fine on the machine where the
webserver is running, but when I run it on any other machine, I get a "doc
contains no data" error or the equivalent.

The script is available at http://www.columbia.edu/~agd12/email.pl

I had this prob with a classified ad engine, it was the one big table that choked the 
browser so I made every row a table. the page actually takes about the same amount of 
time to
transfer but you see displayed results at once:

foreach $row(@$recordset)
{
print "";
print Tr([td([@$row[1..18]])]);
print "";
 }

Re: Form data validation CGI / Perl / MS-FrontPage web page

[Teresa Raymond]

I think the best way to do that is to with 2 cgi progs. One would 
validate the html form and then output user's message to a cgi 
generated html form with the body of the message in a textbox which 
they can edit (the other form values can be put into hidden input 
tags). Then they can submit to an email prog (Which you may want to 
validate as well).

1. html form





2. cgi generated html input text box:
use CGI;
my $query=new CGI;
my $msg=$query->param('msg');
my $sender=$query->param('senderemail');
my $firstname=$query->param('firstname');
print <




$msg

Re: e-mailing HTML form results

[Helen Dickey]

When we first got the Web site, the initial instrutions said
Your SMTP server is your ISP's SMTP server (Erols, Shentel.net or whatever).
(I have also e-mailed her hosting provider contact to ask.)

The server you connect to needs to be the name of the email server.  It will
most likely NOT be just summitrelocation.com.  It should something like
mail.summitrelocation.com, or smtp.summitrelocatio.com.  You need to check
with her, or her hosting provider for the details.

from perldoc DBI:

In a scalar context, `selectrow_array' returns the
value of the first field. An `undef' is returned if
there are no matching rows or an error occurred. Since
that `undef' can't be distinguished from an `undef'
returned because the first field value was NULL,
calling `selectrow_array' in a scalar context should
be used with caution.


so you could write:

my $query = qq{select test from support where unique_id='1234'};
my $truth = $dbh->selectrow_array($query);
(defined $truth) ? (print "here are your results") : (print "sorry, no
results");

but be sure the 'test' field is defined as not null!  ie.-

create table support (test varchar(25) not null);

RE: e-mailing HTML form results

[Helen Dickey]

I finished correcting the errors which gave software and comp. error
messages.
Now I get the pretty page back on my web browser, but it does not send
E-mail to me.
The two lines that I think might have the problem are:

$smtp = Net::SMTP->new("summitrelocation.com");
$smtp->to("helend\@his.com");

(I am writing a response form for my friend Kathy who started the
business Summit Relocation and I write her web pages---my first try at
being a webmaster---and she wants the pretty page we get back on the web
browser to be e-mailed  to her (eventually to her---I am having it
e-mailed to me while I test)

Please help.

RE: Testing for truth

[PURMONEN, Joni]

I'm a newbie myself, but if I understand you correctly, you just need to
check if the SQL query returns a defined value?

simply:

if (!defined($sql)){
do something...
}
else {
do something else
}

or:

print "sorry" if !defined($sql);

print "Yippee" if defined($sql);

Subject: Testing for truth


List,

I would like to be able to test my SQL query for truth. To do this I would
like to be able to do a SELECT query and if the colunm contains nothing I
would like my script to be able to return and tell me this. As an example.
if I do a SELECT statement as follows

SELECT test FROM support WHERE unique_id ='1234'

If test = '(NOTHING)'  print Sorry the search retuned no results please
search again. 
elsif test = 'hello world' print here are the results for your search.  

I can do this exact same thing if I am searching with numeric values such as
data and time.  But can't seem to return a true statement if the column
contains some words?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Daniel Falkenberg
