Hi,
Its been a while.
Here's a snippet of my code
print header();
if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'POST') {
read (STDIN, $input, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}) || print "could not e
+xecute query <br>";
print "got into POST - $input $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'} <br>" . <STDI
+N>;
@pairs = split(/&/, $input);
}
The output is 'could not execute query '
howvever, when I replace print header with
print "Content-type: text/html","\r\n\r\n";
it all works fine. It seems with print header the STDIN cannot read the HTML form. Below this code, the HTML is formed with the form tag and method = 'post'.
Any ideas why this way worked would be great.
Cheers
Ant

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).
