ok...does anybody have an idea as to if my script i showed on the first page will work? i dont have PHP support, but i will soon, thats why i cant test it.

action="/cgi-bin/login.pl"

that's not a relative path, and is referring to the root directory of localhost- lose the first slash or add a dot in front of it...

action="cgi-bin/login.pl"
action="./cgi-bin/login.pl"

OK. Here's your HTML:

<!-- Sign In -->
		<TD valign="right">
			<TABLE align="right" width="20%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#99CC99">
				<TR>
					<TD>
<P align="center">
						<FORM action="/cgi-bin/login.pl" method="post"><H1 class="menu">
User Name:
					</TD>
					<TD>						
						<INPUT type="text" name="loginname" size="15" maxlength="15">
					</TD>
				</TR></H1><BR>
				<TR>
					<TD><H1 class="menu">Password:
					</TD>
					<TD>						
						<INPUT type="password" name="pass" size="15" maxlength="15">
					</TD>
				</TR></H1><BR>
	<strong></FORM></strong>
				<TR>
					<TD>
					</TD>
					<TD><H1 class="menu">						
						<INPUT type="submit" value="Log-in">
					</TD>
				</TR></H1>
				<TR><H1 class="menu">					

				<tr><td><h1 class="menu">Not a Member?</td><td><font size="14px"><a href="http://1eyefilms.hypermart.net/signup.html">Sign Up!</a></font></td></tr>
			</table></font>
					</form>

Take out the bit in red/bald above. Your closing the form too early before your submit button.

and btw...the actual form submission is at http://1eyefilms.hypermart.net/home.html

i apologize for the ads... hopefully i can get some money soon for a domain and no ads!

ok...two more questions...
#1- if i want to run this as a script, using an HTML form, can i take out the

print $obj->header();
        print $obj->start_html("Welcome Please Login!");
        print $obj->startform;
        print "<EM>$info</EM><BR><BR>\n";
        print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"send\" value=\"1\">\n";
        print "<EM>Username:</EM> ";
        print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"user\">\n";
        print "<BR><BR><EM>Password:</EM> ";
        print "&nbsp;<input type=\"password\" name=\"pass\">\n";
        print "<BR>\n<BR>\n";
        print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">\n";
        print "</form>\n";
        print $obj->end_html;

'?
#2- How would i submit to this form..just use a regular PHP form submission, with the same variable names? such as:

<?php
function validate_form()
{
           global $fname, $lname, $email, $age, $dob, $address, $city, $state, $phone1, $phone2, $phone3, $mname, $password, $agree;
         
         $errors=0;
         if (!trim($fname))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="#FF0000"><b>First Name</b> is required.";
            $errors++;
         }
         
         if (!trim($lname))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="#FF0000"><b>Last Name</b> is required.";
            $errors++
         }
         
         if (!trim($email))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="FF0000"><b>Email Address</b> is required.";
            
         }
         
         if (!trim($age))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="FF0000"><b>Age</b> is required.";
         }
         
         if (!trim($dob))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="FF0000"><b>Date of Birth</b> is required.";
         }
         
         if (!trim($address))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="FF0000"><b>Address</b> is required.";
         }
         
         if (!trim($city))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="FF0000"><b>City</b> is required.";
         }
         if (!trim($state))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="FF0000"><b>State</b> is required.";
         }
         if (!trim($phone1, $phone2, $phone3))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="FF0000"><b>Phone Number</b> is required.";
         }
         
         if (!trim($mname))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="FF0000"><b>Member Name</b> is required.";
         }
         
         if (!trim($password))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="FF0000"><b>Password</b> is required.";
         }
         
         if (!trim($agree))
         {
              echo "<br><font color="FF0000"><b>Agreement to TOS and User Agreement</b> is required.";
         }
              switch ($errors)
            {
            case 0:
                 return TRUE;
                 
                 case 1:
                 echo "<br><br>Please go back and fill in the required fields.";
                 return FALSE;
                 
                 default:
                 echo "<br><br>Please go back and fill in the required fields.";
                 return FALSE;
            }
}

function update_database()
{
          echo "<br>Thank your for signing up to become a <i>1Eye Films</i> member.";
$ok = validate_form()
$fp = fopen ("/home/restricted/userdata.txt", "w");
  fwrite($fp, "$mname");
  fwrite($fp, "$password");
  fwrite($fp, "$fname");
  fwrite($fp, "$lname");
  fwrite($fp, "$email");
  fwrite($fp, "$address");
  fwrite($fp, "$city");
  fwrite($fp, "$state");
  fwrite($fp, "$phone1");
  fwrite($fp, "$phone2");
  fwrite($fp, "$phone3");
  fwrite($fp, "$age");
  fwrite($fp, "$agree");
  fclose ($fp);
}

if ($ok)
       update_database();
?>

</body>
</html>

Can you give us a link to your HTML page online?

Thanks.

Fataqui — Wed, 05 Jun 2002 14:47:22 +0000

You can try this one........

Only change the 2 $vars at the top of the script!

Also if your on unix add the (bang-bang line at the top of the script!)

If you on windows it is not needed!

password file should be like this......

username = Fataqui
user_type = mailuser
user_pass = 99999
user_last_name = Desbiens
user_first_name = Sonia
service_name = webmail

If you want to change the pass_file, you will need to change this line!

my ($username,$group,$encrypt,$lname,$fname,$services)=split(/\|/,$line);

The script...........

<?php
        use CGI;
        my $obj = new CGI;
        use strict;

        $| = 1;

        # change only these two $vars below

        # where the user database is located

        my $pass_file = \"/home/restricted/userdata\";

        # The url to redirect to with login is good

        my $url = \"http://www.ya-right.com/\";

        # end config..........

    my $pass = $obj->param('pass');
    my $user = $obj->param('user');
    my $send = $obj->param('send');
        my $error = 0;
        my $info = \"\";


        if ($send == 1) {
        if (($pass eq \"\")&&($user eq \"\")) {

        $error = 3;
        &show_form($error);
        
        }
        elsif (($pass ne \"\")&&($user eq \"\")) {

        $error = 2;
        &show_form($error);
        
        }
        elsif (($pass eq \"\")&&($user ne \"\")) {

        $error = 1;
        &show_form($error);
        
        } else {
     
        &check_pass($user,$pass);
        }

        } else {
        
        &show_form($error);
                
        }

        sub check_pass {
        my @users = ();
        open (FILE, \"$pass_file\");
        @users=<FILE>;
        close(FILE);
        my $found = 0;
        foreach my $line (@users) {
        my ($username,$group,$encrypt,$lname,$fname,$services)=split(/\|/,$line);
        if (($username eq $user)&&($encrypt eq $pass)) {
      $found=1;
      last;      }
              }
        if ($found) {

        print $obj->redirect($url);

        } else {

        $error = 4;
        &show_form($error);

        }
        }

        sub show_form {

        if ($error == 0) {

        $info = \"Please Enter Your Username And Password To Login...\";

        }
        elsif ($error == 1) {

        $info = \"<font color=#FF0000>The password field was left blank...</font>\";

        }
        elsif ($error == 2) {

        $info = \"<font color=#FF0000>You did not enter your username...</font>\";

        }
        elsif ($error == 3) {

        $info = \"Please Enter Your Username And Password To Login...\";

        }
        elsif ($error == 4) {

        $info = \"<font color=#FF0000>Sorry, no user found by that name or password...</font>\";

        }

       print $obj->header();
        print $obj->start_html(\"Welcome Please Login!\");
        print $obj->startform;
        print \"<EM>$info</EM><BR><BR>\n\";
        print \"<input type=\\"hidden\\" name=\\"send\\" value=\\"1\\">\n\";
        print \"<EM>Username:</EM> \";
        print \"<input type=\\"text\\" name=\\"user\\">\n\";
        print \"<BR><BR><EM>Password:</EM> \";
        print \"&nbsp;<input type=\\"password\\" name=\\"pass\\">\n\";
        print \"<BR>\n<BR>\n\";
        print \"<input type=\\"submit\\" name=\\"submit\\" value=\\"Submit\\">\n\";
        print \"</form>\n\";
        print $obj->end_html;
        
        exit;
     }

     
?>

example of the script here............
username = Fataqui
password = 99999
