Hello

Im not sure which language Im suppose to be using fo this idea.

the template file for this has other code surrounded by "%%"
example:
%%title%%

My failed attempt to write something just shows the code entirely:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI ':standard';

my $db_id = param('db_id');

$database="/home/2015/public_html/cgi-bin/data/As.data";

open (ORGDB,"<$database");
@ODB=;
close (ORGDB);
@SODB=sort(@ODB); #sort in order by ID number.

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print qq~

$title = "No Entries Found";

foreach $rec (@SODB){
chomp($rec);
($id,$lastname,$date,$name,$seller,$caption,$car,$color)=split(/\|/,$rec);

if($db_id eq $id){
$title = "$seller - $car";
}

print qq~

$title
~; %%TITLE%%

Does this have to be a .cgi script? I can give you the code to do this with PHP. Perl I would have to look up as I haven't used it since I learned PHP.
