SSI

[senns]

Is it possible for a form to send user input to an SHTML page, which then sends the information to a CGI script via the <!--#exec cgi--> command?

For example:
http://example.com/page.shtml?name=whatever
Would pass the info along to
http://example.com/page.cgi?name=whatever

Thanks

The answer is yes...

It will be passed to the cgi script via the QUERY_STRING environment variable...

How would I go about doing this? Something like:

<!--#exec cgi="test.cgi?id=$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}"-->

???

nope - it's transparent

when your CGI is excuted - QUERY_STRING will be set as expected...

From here, experimentation is the key - tinker with it and see what you come up with... Half the fun is figuring it out...
