PHP, form and POST method
# | index.php | welcome.php |
---|---|---|
1. | <html> <body> <form action="welcome.php" method="post"> Name: <input type="text" name="fname" /> Age: <input type="text" name="age" /> <input type="submit" /> </form> </body> </html> |
<html> <body> Welcome <?php echo $_POST["fname"]; ?>!<br /> You are <?php echo $_POST["age"]; ?> years old. </body> </html> |
The 'action' attribute in <form> defines an absolute or a relative URL. That is, the action could be pointing to an asp, cgi page or something like "mailto:[email protected]".
PHP, form and GET method
index.php | welcome.php |
---|---|
<form action="welcome.php" method="get"> Name: <input type="text" name="fname" /> Age: <input type="text" name="age" /> <input type="submit" /> </form> |
Welcome <?php echo $_GET["fname"]; ?>.<br /> You are <?php echo $_GET["age"]; ?> years old! |
GET, the default, will send the form input in an URL, whereas POST sends it in the body of the submission. The latter method means you can send larger amounts of data, and that the URL of the form results doesn't show the encoded form.
MySQL basic operations
- Log into root
$ mysql -u root -h myserver-sever.com -p
- Create a new mysql database called demo
mysql> CREATE DATABASE demo;
- create a new user and GRANT (add) privileges to a newly created user on all tables in the demo database.
CREATE USER 'user1'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword'; GRANT ALL ON demo.* TO 'user1'@'localhost';
OR

CGI/Perl
On Ubuntu, the CGI script should be placed in /usr/lib/cgi-bin folder.
$ ls -l /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.cgi -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 139 2012-11-21 12:19 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
Notice that mode is 755 for the executable file. The script
$ cat /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.cgi #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print <<END_HTML; <html> <head></head> <body>Hello, World!</body> </html> END_HTML
Open a web browser and enter http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.cgi.
If the cgi was used in html form, the html code should look like
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/mycgi.pl"> favorite color: <INPUT name="favecolor"> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit"> </FORM>
