Multiple SSI Text Files Updated from ONE CGI Script...

PhatBoi · 08-04-2012, 10:50 AM

Hi All,
sorry "major newbie" here

Dilemma: lost script - need it yesterday!

How it works:

I have a site where every page uses SSI html or text files for its general information

One admin form page with 18 'text areas' that have their respective files inserted by SSI

Update the required text in the required area

One submit button for the page

One CGI script that updates all of the html or text files

Where the script has gone I do not know. I have been trying to mod another script tto do the same - but since I know next to zero - not having much luck.

Can anyone help out?

I need to get this happening last week

Try this:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<TOEND;

Here, put whatever needs to be sent to the web page.

Note that dollar sign characters and commercial at characters need to be escaped.
Like: \$ and \@

TOEND
exit;
