pass values to another scipt
Hi! I am using one script to secure the members area and offer several search functions for am mysql database. another script offers the possibility to update data in this database. Botth scripts require the user to ennter name, lastname and password. Now I want to enable the user to get straight to the update function without having to enter name, lastname and password (he already entered one time) again. How can I pass those already collected values on to another script using a link (a href)? Or how can i do that at all?

pass values to another scipt
Hi All,
I am currently having the same problems as Sven. I tried to get some info on it as
wel, but it seems a difficult one.
I have made a simple example to explain it a little :
HTML-CODE:
---
html
form method=post action=/cgi-bin/david/1.cgi
table
input type=hidden name=hide1 value=secure
input type=hidden name=hide2 value=very secure
trtdplease enter your First name /tdtdinput type=text name=userid/td/tr
trtdPlease enter your Last name /tdtdinput type=password name=pw/td/tr
trtda href=/cgi-bin/david/1.cgiPlease try this one/a/td/tr
trtdinput type=submit/td/tr
/table/form
/html
--
Perl-script:
---
#!/user/cadiclab/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);
$first = param('userid');
$last = param('pw');
$hide1 = param('hide1');
$hide2 = param('hide2');
print header,
start_html(-BGCOLOR=#99),
start_form;
print Hallo userid: $first with password: $last brbr;
print Hidden fields are; brbrField1: $hide1 brField2: $hide2 br;
print end_form,
hr;
--
Ones I hit the submit button the cgi-script does it all for me.
He tells me who I am and he prints the hidden fields.
Ones I hit the a href the params are not read within my cgi-script ?
Not the input type=text and not the input type=hidden.
Is there a way to get this working ?
Any other solutions to a more secure way of solving this are welcome too !
P.S.: I need the links to browse through directory's and do stuff with it.
A submit button instead of a a href does not look very fancy :)

David van der Geer

Re: pass values to another scipt
Ok, i found out how to pass a few arguments to the other script:
a
href=collectformdata.cgi?action=fetchf_name=$f_namef_surname=$f_surname
Update /a
The only problem I have left is that the variables are not passed on.
Once I put names in there, it works just fine, but I do need those
variables to work.
if I would get any tips on this I'd really appreciate it

this is dangerous!
you are taking user input and printing it directly to the browser
without any html escaping!
please read this:

as for your question - have you tried using .htaccess?

Hi Sven,
Sorry, I thought you knew that one.
But how to proceed if you don't want those ugly/insecure params in your location bar ?

Re: yahoo mail did't compile HTML mail
compiled like hotmail makes no sense. It is how the email client (in this case Hotmail and Yahoo!) handle incoming email messages. If you are not adding the proper header information, you can not expect the client to do what you want. Do you even know if Yahoo! handles HTML mail correctly? If it does, then you aren't doing the Right Thing when creating the email. Proper Content-Type header info should work. Hotmail may be displaying whatever is in the email body (HTML, in this case), while Yahoo! is treating it as text, since that is the default when no Content-Type is explicitly given. To create more robust emails, look into MIME::Lite, or some such modules. For the web-based email system I wrote, I use MIME::Lite and all is happy.

Re: pass values to another scipt
Secure?? Have you guys been paying attention to the Matt's Script Archive discussion? You can pass along parameters between pages either in the URL or as hidden fields, but NEITHER IS REALLY SECURE!! The hidden fields only stymie the newbies. :-) Anyone could just save the form to their hard drive, modify the hidden field values there, and submit that version. If the server script thinks it need only check the referer variable to get around this, the hacker can submit their modified page with their own client, setting the referer field to whatever they want. True, it's nicer not seeing them in the URL, but it's not that much more secure. I recommend Chapter 8 of O'Reilly's CGI Programming with Perl for a thorough discussion of CGI security issues. - John --- David vd Geer Inhuur tbv IPlib [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Sven, Sorry, I thought you knew that one.

Re: CGI and frames
I would like to create a html frameset plus the pages for the frameset. In the top frame should go the menu (which is now displayed in a table at the top of the page), below that the pages the user creates by clicking on the button. Until now I have not found out how to fill the frameset with the pages. (I know how to create the frameset and the different pages via CGI, but do not know how to put it all together) Normally a frameset looks (as you all know) somewhat like that: frameset rows=80,* frameborder=NO border=0 framespacing=0 frame src=path/to/file name=topFrame scrolling=NO noresize frame src=path/to/file name=mainFrame /frameset Now I do not know/understand, how to replace the src=path/to/file with the corresponding sub (i.e. sub menu) :( Thanks for your help, Sven On Wednesday, May 15, 2002, at 12:31 AM, John Brooking wrote: Okay, I understand now.

opening a text file by more web page visitors?
Hi all, I want to create a database with links to files from my server and from other servers and for each link there is an ID. If a visitor wants to download a file, they click a link from a HTML page, and the link looks like: http://myServer.com/cgi-bin/download?file=123 My kind of database works fine. What I would like to know is if this text file with ID's and links can be opened in the same time by more web page visitors. The file will be opened only for reading and not for writing. Is possible that more visitors use this database in the same time? If it is not possible, what would you recommend? Should I create a lock file and put the visitors to wait until the file is closed by other visitors that opened the file? Thank you!

Re: Matt Wright's formMail
volks, thanks for the scoop on what is what... I'd prefer a gooder reason to a jihaud - and I think a sufficiency of explanation has been presented. I R new to CGI in perl - sort of had it thrust upon me since 'well you know perl' On Tuesday, May 14, 2002, at 10:45 , Dave Cross wrote: On Mon, 13 May 2002 17:14:03 +0100, Drieux wrote: [..] there was a security update to v1.92 on 04/21/02 has there been some new issue arise??? since then? Matt's version 1.92 fixes all of the spam relay problems with FormMail. There are, I believe, a couple of Cross-Site Scripting vunerabilities remaining. thanks for the heads up on that. My working premise then is that any such issues are closed in the nms? I have only just started to deconstruct it. There seems to be way more firepower in this than I think we will want to use but... I have found a few things I would wonder about - but these tend to be the sorts of trade offs on when is it really better to code in line - or have a simple function test However secure this version is, it's still written for Perl for and doesn't use strict, -w, taint mode or CGI.pm. It's a really bad example of Perl code and I wouldn't want anyone to see the source and think they can learn Perl from it. [..] So far about the only complaint I have with the nms FormMail is that the tarball did not come with a version number in it, hence I have no tracking control on the tarball or the folder that it generates. Unfortunately, I R 'the perl guy' - and the version 1.65? that had been running ran for a few years without problems - and it was only recently that the relay attack was executed - and I was asked to take a look to figure out what could be done to fix it, hence hauled in the 1.92 version - verified it was ok, and we were back in bizniz... But that is also why I R Here and asking the 'ok, so I'm Blithely Naive...' classes of questions. ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
