Re: newbie question about print header

[Bill Stephenson]

From the CGI.pm docs...

Most browsers will not cache the output from CGI scripts. Every time 
the browser reloads the page, the script is invoked anew. You can 
change this behavior with the -expires parameter. When you specify an 
absolute or relative expiration interval with this parameter, some 
browsers and proxy servers will cache the script's output until the 
indicated expiration date. The following forms are all valid for the 
-expires field:


+30s  30 seconds from now
+10m  ten minutes from now
+1h   one hour from now
-1d   yesterday (i.e. "ASAP!")
now   immediately
+3M   in three months
+10y  in ten years time
Thursday, 25-Apr-1999 00:40:33 GMT  at the indicated time & date

So, you'd want this...


print $Q->header(-expires=>'-1d');

newbie question about print header

[Mary Anderson]

I want to know how to tell my application not to cache.

Kevin Meltzer's book and Lincoln Stein's book neatly drop that ball between
them.

Can I use the cgi.pm header routine and hand it a variable?

   print header (-no-cache=> 1) ..

there are several variants of this --- using -nph->1 

its pretty confusing.  I am not putting the straight CGI into my file and
these guys are giving me bits and pieces of the two ways to do it.

Thanks
Mary Anderson

Why?

Don't need the capturing parens. Also, lots of those chars don't need to be
escaped inside a character class.

grep is unecessary here, since you're only operating on one line at a time.

This can be simplified to:

   push @found_array, $parray if $parray =~ /$keyword/oi;

(/o can be added since keyword doesn't change once it's been assigned)

> }
> print "You Queried for $keyword\n"; 
> print @found_array;

If you want to output the @found_array as an HTML table, you can do
something like this:

   print $query->table(
   $query->Tr([
   map $query->td([split /\t/]), @found_array
   ]),
   );

Subject: newbie question - re: form validation ?JUNK MAIL?


Hi. I'm a newbie: both to this news group and to land of Perl/cgi :o)   I'd 
appreciate getting some help with a form validation script!

I'm working on a conference room reservation form.  The html form has fields for name, 
title of meeting, day/month/year, start time and end time. My current problem is the 
date validation - I need it to not only check for whether there has not been a 
selection made, but also whether the start time is => end time and end time <= start 
time, returning errors in any of these cases.

My form fields for time start and time end are selection boxes, both with the am/pm 
designation included with the numeric time - i.e.6:00 am through 6:00pm (in half hour 
increments). The problem is when the start time is =< 12:30 pm and the end time 
selected is =>1pm -- if this selection is made, the .cgi sees the end time as less 
than the start time and returns an error. 

If I change the selection box listing to military time, I can get the script to work, 
but I don't like using that format (and I think most users would agree). What code can 
I use to make the .cgi recognize the difference in am/pm using the standard time 
format? 

Thanks,
Marjie

Here's is the portion of my .cgi showing the code for the time field(s) validation:


 elsif ($in{'timestart'} eq "Select one:") {
 print "\n";

 print "Oops! You forget to fill in the `Time Start' field.\n";

 print "Use the back button to return to the form\n";

 print "and complete the info needed. Thank 
you!";

 }

 elsif ($in{'timeend'} eq "Select one:") {

 print "\n";

 print "Oops! You forget to fill in the `Time End' field.\n";

 print "Use the back button to return to the form\n";

# print "and complete the info needed. Thank 
you!";

 } 




if ($in{'timestart'} >= $in{'timeend'} ) {

print "\n";

print "Oops!\n";

print "Your `Time Start and Time End' *are in conflict* 
\n"; 

print "Please use the back button to return to the\n"; 

print "reservation form, and reselect your \n";

print "start or end time.\n";

print "Thank you!";

} 



else {

FYI-After this portion of the code, the .cgi is to open the .txt database and check 
for any duplicate entry. If none found, it writes; if duplicate date found, it should 
return another error. But haven't gotten that far yet!

Thanks in advance for help correcting/completing this code!

No, it's not tricky.  Unless you work really hard at it, your image
is always scaled in proportion, such that the width and the height
fit a maximum of the sizes listed above.  It's just (dare I say) magic!

Let me illusrate:  if an image is 75x150, and you ask for a 25x25 version,
you get a 12x25 version, which is the same proportions, but both
numbers are smaller than 25.

RE: Creating thumbnails (Newbie Question)...

[Joel Hughes]

Alex,
the answer to this one is probably imagemagick. I have a small photos site
as well and use imagemagick to create all the other sizes from the master
image.

After you have install image magick, the basic syntax is...


use Image::Magick;
$p = new Image::Magick;
$p->Read(..your main image...);

$p->Scale(width=>$required_width, height=> $required_height);

$p->Write(..your scaled image...)

your only trickyish part is keeping the projection right when you scale the
image, however, for a start, the above code can get you going.

With my site I have an upload screen for images. Accepting images in this
screen causes the scaled images to be created - I have a couple of scaled
images for various purposes (web user monitor sizes etc).

best of luck

joel

Re: Creating thumbnails (Newbie Question)...

[Wiggins d'Anconia]

Second part:

Depends on how complex you want your thumbnail page to be (of course).

Simplest might be to store all your thumbnails to a directory, do an 
opendir, then while readdir, print your image tag changing only the file 
name in each case.

To complicate matters, you can use the same Image::Magick module to read 
the thumbnail to generate the width/height tags on the fly though I 
would say that is probably overkill.  As for handling pages/numbered to 
display on each page, and stepping between them you are probably going 
to have to pass a couple of variables to the script, such as where to 
start displaying and how many to display. Or you could go the simple 
route and hard code the number shown, in which case you could just pass 
a "page" variable, either way you then generate the urls on the fly 
referencing "previous","next","first","last", etc. So many options, 
so little time.

Hi Alex,

Here's a script based on one I was given a while back.  This is a command-line 
one but should easily be convertable to a CGI.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

use Image::Magick;

my $im = Image::Magick->new;

umask 0022;

# if passed filenames use them, otherwise do all
my @names = @ARGV ? @ARGV : grep { -f and -B } <*>;

for (@names) {# foreach name
  if (/ /) {  # if name contains a space
my $old = $_;
tr, ,_,s; # change spaces to _
$_ .= ".jpg" unless /\.jpg$/; # append .jpg if missing
! -e and rename $old, $_ or next; # skip file if rename fails
warn "renaming $old to $_\n";
  }
  next if /\.thumb\.jpg$/;# skip if this is thumbnail
  my $thumb = "$_.thumb.jpg";
  next if -e $thumb;  # skip if thumbnail exists
  undef @$im; # reset (part of) $im
  my $ret;
  $ret = $im->Read($_)# read file 
and warn($ret), next; # or fail and skip
  $ret = $im->Scale(geometry => '100x100')
and warn($ret), next;
  $ret = $im->Write($thumb)
and warn($ret), next;
  warn "thumbnail made for $_\n";
}

Re: Newbie question on data storing

[randy Peterman]

Use DBI.  Doing your own parsing of files and data is more of a headache
than you need.  It may depend on your application, but when it comes to file
parsing - you're re-inventing the wheel.

There are several good Database's out there that are open source.  Plus if
all your effort is "in house" you'll have very few security issues to worry
about.

Newbie question on data storing

Hello all,
Please bear with me - I realize the answers I seek probably lie
elsewhere but I haven't had a lot of luck.
I'm building an interface that allows me to input an order number, order
type and comments on the order, which are stored into a file using a hash of
arrays. I can's find a good way to store and retreive the records, and I'm
trying to figure out whether DBI access or regular file access with my own
parsing would be best.
I'm basically looking for any insight, references, etc. on file access
and record retreival that is geared for the non-guru.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not familiar with WinCGI, but your code is missing the important shebang

Everything's off my C drive and the DOS path to Perl is: C:\Perl\bin\perl.

Re: newbie question

Also, are you sure you have the scripts in the CGI-bin?  And is your server set to 
look in the right folder for CGIs?  If you don't have a shebang line, adding one might 
also help.  I went through this same problem a couple of weeks ago.  BTW, what server 
is it?  Someone might have said, but I don't remember.

You should always include the code that is giving you the problem when you 
ask a question.  It makes it a lot easier for us to help you.  Could you 
send your code?
