Survey
Script
A script is available for surveys.
The current script takes the output from a form and outputs it to a comma/quote
delimited file.
To use this script you need the following:
- a page with a form. The form action should be /cgi-bin/survey.pl/path
using the POST method, where
- path is the relative path to the location where you
want the result file to be (relative to the root of the
URL you have)
- a field named file, with the value set to the name of the
results file (located in path) - normally this field
would be hidden
- you may have a field named display. The value of this field
is a page that will be displayed after the form is submitted. It must
also be in the path location - normally this field would
be hidden
- to have the webmaster
create the results file and set properties appropriately (read/write
for you and writable by others). You can then download the file (with
the entered data) directly from
your web site.
An example form could look like:
|
<form name="form1" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/survey.pl/webinfo/">
<input type="hidden" name="file" value="survey.results">
<input type="hidden" name="display" value="nice_message.html">
<p> Name <input type="text" name="name"
maxlength="25">
<p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form> |
|
This would then produce a line in the file /webinfo/survey.results something
like
"your.dns.ubc.ca","10.0.114.5","Wed Jun 6
08:32:18 PDT 2001","Your Name"
