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"> <tr><td>please enter your First name </td><td><input type=text name=userid></td></tr> <tr><td>Please enter your Last name </td><td><input type=password name=pw></td></tr> <tr><td><a href=/cgi-bin/david/1.cgi>Please try this one</a></td></tr> <tr><td><input 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=>"#99cccc"), start_form; print "Hallo userid: $first with password: $last <br><br>"; print "Hidden fields are; <br><br>Field1: $hide1 <br>Field2: $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 :) Best Regards, David van der Geer > > 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.
