peacemaker1820 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello Monks
I have a static HTML form that submits about 25-50 fields including, radio, checkboxes, text, selection, etc. to my database.
Now, what I would like to do is to let people who fill these forms in, revise the form and edit it if necessary.
For this I need to take all the fields from my database and populate it back into the original boxes on my HTML form (file name:"ex.html").
How do I do that?
I have tried reading about CGI...but I did not understand. If anyone can be of more help, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
