Hi, I want to make a configuration script for something and it needs to
read inputs from an HTML file. A couple of these inputs are textboxes
that the user inputs a path in. For example:
Your Home Directory:
[/home/me/public_html/]
So, I'm using Python to read these inputs and store them in a
configuration file. However, I cannot get the CGI to read the forward
slashes (/). It just leaves a blank area. So, for example:
Input: /usr/bin/sendmail
Reads: sendmail
Input: /home/me/public_html/
Reads: (Nothing.)
params = cgi.FieldStorage()
def writep(key, name):
if params.has_key(key):
fconfig.write(name + ": " + os.path.split(params[key].value)[1] +
";\n")
^ This is the function for handling a key that is read by the cgi. The
"name" is the name that it stores the key under so the configuration
file looks like:
name: key;[Line Break]
However, is there a way to get it to read the forward slashes? If
there isn't do you suggest having the user use a different character
and adding a function in the script to substitute a forward slash for
that character?
I tried looking for this for a long while, but maybe I didn't search
enough. Thanks for all of your help and I'm sorry if this is a
question that has been asked 15 million times.
