| I want to start out by saying that although I have been able to write script in the past, I am no where near being a programmer. I can look at source and figure out how and why it works.
I recently purchased a book on Perl and CGI and have read it completely. It doesn' answer all my questions, so here I am.
I am writing a set of scripts in Perl that will allow a user to come to my website, fill out an online html form. I assign the elements to variables and save them to a file. I want the information in the form to be printed into an html page so that the client can print it, with the element values that he put into the form present. The question I have is this:
After the user fills the form, I assign the elements to variables and save them to a file. If the user comes back at a later time to finish the form, is there a way to have the form populate itself with the saved values (as if they were the default values), so that the user only has to fill in the blank form items?
Please point me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance,
Carlos |
