Hi All,

I want to access all the changes submitted in perforce and to display in the web page for a particular user. CGI Script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use CGI;
$cgi = CGI->new;
print $cgi->header;

print <<EndOfHTML;
<form action="post.cgi" method="POST">
 <table>
   <tr><td>Perforce User</td>
     <td><select size="1" name="user">
      <option name="antoine">antoine</option></select>
     </td></tr>
   <tr>
     <td>Start Date</td><td><input name=startdate></td>
   </tr><tr>
      <td>End Date</td><td><input name=enddate></td>
    </tr><tr>
     <td colspan=2 align=\"center\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Sub
+mit\"></td>
    </tr></table></form>";
EndOfHTML

post.cgi:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
$ENV{ 'PATH' } = '/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin';
delete @ENV{ 'IFS', 'CDPATH', 'ENV', 'BASH_ENV' };

print header;
my %form;
foreach my $p (param()) {
    $form{$p} = param($p);
}
my $user = $form{'user'};
my $output = system ("sudo -i -u avinodh p4 changes -u $user > /tmp/$u
+ser");
print $output;
print "The active user is: ", `whoami`;
print end_html;

When we execute the script in the browser it is giving output as "256The active user is: www-data". Please provide your inputs. Thank You Antoine.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
