form and CGI

take a look at this page:
http://www.beeweeb.com/download/dlmapper2k.shtml

I like to do one of them validation forms. that is: the webuser first fills in a form with required fields, and if the form is filled with address and ph and such the user gets to download, but if not -> no download!
simple?
I can't figure it out. do I need cgi for this?
or maybe some more computer awareness...

yeah you would have to do this with CGI.

something like this

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl



use CGI qw(param);



$name = param("name");

$phone = param("phone");



if ((!$name) && (!$phone)) {

 print "You didnt enter the fields required";

} else {

 print "Location: download.zip"; # the location of the file to be downloaded (dont worry they most likely wont see this)

 open(STORE,"store.txt");

  print STORE "Name: $name\nPhone: $phone\n";

 close(STORE);

}
