What is wrong here... I need to validate an name=>password pair, from a
form submission.
script:
----------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
# CGI script that creates a fill-out form
# and echoes back its values.
use CGI qw/:standard/;
$q=new CGI; # create new CGI object
%authusers = ('user','password','friend','foe');
if( $q->param('dempwd') == $authusers{$q->param('demid')} ) {
print $q->header, # create the HTTP header
$q->start_html("Hello $1" ), # start the HTML
$q->h1('You are authorized...'), # level 1 header
$authusers{$q->param('demid')},
$q->param('name'),
$q->end_html; # end the HTML
}
else
{
print $q->header,$q->start_html("else"),
$q->h1('Failed...'),
$q->end_html;
}
---------------------------------------
and here is the form submission...
---------------------------------------
<form name="login" method="post" action="logint.pl">
<p> Demonstrator's ID
<input type="text" name="demid">
</p>
<p>Password
<input type="password" name="dempwd" size="20">
<input type="submit" name="Login" value="Log In">
</p>
</form>
