database starting point
database starting point
(OP)
This is a starting point for me. I am not sure if I am posting in the right forum or not. If not please let me know where I should look to.
I want to create a simple menu that displays four text boxes. Each bow would allow text to be entered. Once submitted it would append the data to a file and the text box would clear for more input.
I want to run this from a web interface.
Run it from my local intranet
Any ideas on how to create this ?

RE: database starting point
this is what you'll need to learn.
(1) DBM files (add/delete/update records) using perl
(2) CGI scripts
- display your form
- have the form run your cgi script
- have the script process the info and append
to the DBM file.
notes : make sure you make the dbm file writeable by the
user_id used by your webserver. (ie. nobody)
DBM (Database Management Files)
an that's about it.

RE: database starting point
first, make sure you have Perl installed in your intranet server.
if your server is linux/unix, use the following command to check for Perl:
type perl
if your server is NT, go to www.activestate.com to download ActivePerl.
