Jim -- ...and then Jim Lundeen said... % % Hello All,
Hi! % % I have 2 scripts. One accepts 3 values LOGIN_USERNAME, LOGIN_PASSWORD % and ACTION from an HTML form. That script looks in a user table in % MySQL to verify the user. If valid, it passes them to MENU.CGI with % LOGIN_USERNAME and a unique session number (USN). Good enough. % % Here's the question: How to I "post" the LOGIN_USERNAME and USN to the % MENU.CGI script? I don't want the user "carrying" the info around in % the "Location" bar as "?USN=1234&LOGIN_USERNAME=somebody" -- I want it Right. That would be ugly. % to be part of the user's Perl process if you know what I mean, so that % if they hit RELOAD the values are still with them. Too, I don't want % someone trying to modify the info if it were in the "Location" bar, so % it needs to be a part of the "post." I can never remember which is POST and which is GET, but just have your script pass the data over to MENU.CGI (are you on a Win machine, BTW, or do you ALWAYS SHOUT? ;-) in the environment as that-which-is-not-the-url method does. % % Any advice would be much appreciated! HTH & HAND % % Thanks! % % Jim % :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
