Rob,

It's ok - i've worked out the modification
problem - answered my own question -
put the details in the file in the
same order as I want to take them out.

Just the little problem with the order
form now and that's it.

Thanks

Steve

Rob,

Thanks - thought that was what the error bit was for. Does the information that is in
the registered.txt file have to be in a certain format or will it pick it up regardless? At the moment it just brings
up a blank screen regardless of what fills
the variables - maybe i've put it in the wrong place or something - any ideas?
I can send you a copy of the dummy registered.txt file if that helps.

On the order form the first page (0rder1)
works as it should but if you don't enter
any details in the second page (order2)
when it checks the domain again it comes up
as registered the second time around. I've
put the script that you gave me but maybe
i've not put it in the right place - Do
you still have a copy of order3 that was
on your site last night? Could you email
it to me if you have so that I can compare
the two.

Sorry to be a pain.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Steve

the "error" was just supose tot ell you that that was where the error would go . It may be a good idea to print some HTML telling the person to go back and fill in the form correctly again or something.
Or just put code to forward the user back to the modify.pl

If you do want to display a button to my site in return for my modest help, you can find my button/html code at http://www.wiredstart.com/aboutus.php3 Thanks!

Rob,

You are a star!!

The order form bits work great!

I will have another play tommorow with
the modify file but at the moment it doesn't
seem to like the code at the end that says:

{
error
exit();
}

It throws up an internal server error - when
I removed the "error" part and ran the script
it brought up a blank page

It may be something i'm doing so i'll have another play tommorow.

MANY THANKS for your assistance - if you've
got a button advert for a site that you want
promoting send it over and I will put it
on the site for a couple of months - it will
be on quite a few pages!

Thanks Again

Steve

Alright, in order2.pl at the top place

code:

if(!param('domain'))
{
	$url = "http://www.wiredstart.com/cgi-bin/order1.pl";
	print "Location: $url\nURI: $url\n\n";
	exit();
}
[/code]

In order3.pl at the top
code:if(!param('name') | | !param('address1') | | !param('postcode') | | !param('country') | | !param('telephone') | | !param('email') | | !param('maiden_name'))
{
	$url = "http://www.wiredstart.com/cgi-bin/order2.pl";
	$url .= "?domain=".param('domain')."®istry=".param('registry');
	print "Location: $url\nURI: $url\n\n";
	exit();
}
[/code]

And in modify2.pl, although I haven't tested it, something like this should work:
code:$count=0;
$file = 'registered.txt';
open(IN,$file);
@domains = <IN>;
close(IN);

$match = param('domain').param('registry').",".param('email').",".param('maiden_name');
foreach(@domains)
{
	$count=1 if($_ =~ m/$match/i);
}
if($count==0)
{
	error
	exit();
}
[/code]

You can see the order stuff working fne at http://www.wiredstart.com/cgi-bin/order1.pl 

I will delete it after you reply.
*Edit
UBB seems to place spaces between the | |.  You should delete those spaces.

Rob,

yep that's right i've copied the two files
order3 & order4.

order3 has some fields in it but they don't
need to be required if that helps.

You can mail me direct if it's more
helpful to you.

Thanks again

Steve

Rob Pengelly — Wed, 21 Jun 2000 20:17:00 +0000

Hello,

I will need the source code for order3.pl because that is where all the form values from order2.pl are sent correct?

thanks Rob,

Well order1 contains the bit where the
customer enters the domain name that
they want which is then passed to order2
to check for availabilty:

Here it is:
http://www.branditnow.co.uk/temp/order1.txt

Thanks again.

Steve

Rob Pengelly — Wed, 21 Jun 2000 17:33:00 +0000

So order1.pl contains the first form? If so, can you post the source for that, because inside order1.pl is where the first additional code would be placed to make sure all the fields are present.
