I saw what's wrong, add the following line at the beginning of the script: $orderform = "orderform.php";'
And then use my script, and rename it to orderfrom.php . Now it should work.

Hi guys,
I've tried all of your suggestions (and then some) and been unable to get any to work.

I managed to track down the guy that wrote the whois perl script and he tells me that the url extension is past as an arguement and not a variable. (this is beyond me).

Does that shed any light?

Either way...thanks for all of your input.

No in PHP, that's the good one about it! It automatically stores the querry string in variables (ex.: url.php?p=val => $p=="val")

Hi,

i'm really quite sure that if you want to retrieve any data persisted in the url, u must use the query_string method...i honestly don't know any other way to grab persisted data. this applies only to cgi.

as for javascript, i've only been able to pass data over from one page to another if the second page was opened as a child window.

hope this post held some meaning.

It's perfectly fine code, you were using asp syntax. This is the easiest code. Gee, all you guys are trying to make thing harder then they are.

Thanks Gyrbo,
I'm trying your suggestion, but is there something not right with the end of the code? I'm not up on php (my server does support it).

Thanks for your help.

Your on UNIX right? Does your host support PHP?

Try this code, it should work. You need to rename your page to .php

He needs some javascipt.

FYI..
$domain is a variable in Perl and PHP (maybe others)

<?php
=domain
?>

is ASP (but

<?php
=$domain
?>

is invalid syntax)

I don't remember the code to get something out of the URL, sorry.

well, in the form, you would have to place a 'submit'-button and the code i posted you have to place in your order.cgi/order.pl.
the page with the form can be a normal html-page (without anything dynamic).

if you're looking for some java-code i can't help you out, i don't know anything 'bout it...

[edit]
could you post the url to your site?

Ignore that last post

Ignore that load of balloney in the last post. I've been up all night with this. Im in the UK and its just gone 8.10 am and my brain is dead. (that's my excuse anyway.)

If this helps you guys, this is the part of the whois script that generates the url.

sub whois {
$output .= '';
foreach $ext(@ext) {
$output .= "$domain.$ext";
@whois = `whois $domain.$ext` ;
$status="taken";
foreach $i (@whois) {
if($i=~/No match for/g){$status="available"}
}
if ($status eq "available") {
if ($orderform) { $hyperlink = "Order Now >"; }
$output .= "Available$hyperlink";
} else { $output .= "Taken "; }
}
$output .= '';
&printpage("$output");
}
