Why do you keep mentioning mod_php, surely you mean mod_python. > is that the target machine to which I will > finally be uploading my scripts runs CGI. > > cgihandler should work just like CGI. I wouldn't rely on it being exactly the same. The way it works uses a number of kludges. Also, the mod_python.cgihandler code in mod_python doesn't really get much attention from mod_python developers anymore and not sure if it was even specifically retested when mod_python 3.3 was released. > Any clue why the > cgi.FieldStorage()might not be working ? Have no idea why it doesn't work as works as written on MacOS X even when mod_python.cgihandler is used. You'll have to get someone else who has Windows to try it. You might be better off going to the mod_python mailing list to get help, or just use plain old CGI instead since using mod_python isn't really going to gain you much anyway.
