Full Discussion: Input form to update configuration files
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Input form to update configuration files Post 302898262 by bakunin on Monday 21st of April 2014 05:02:03 AM

Probably some CGI-scripting should work for that: "behind" the form the user sends there is a script of some sort picking up the values and doing something with them (i.e. write a config file).

CGI is an API and you can use it from a wide range of programming languages. Many use perl for that, but you can also use any shell language and some others as well. That is more a matter of personal taste than one of technical requirements.

I hope this helps.

template::plugin::cgi

Template::Plugin::CGI(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Template::Plugin::CGI(3)

NAME

       Template::Plugin::CGI - Interface to the CGI module

SYNOPSIS

	   [% USE CGI %]
	   [% CGI.param('parameter') %]

	   [% USE things = CGI %]
	   [% things.param('name') %]

	   # see CGI docs for other methods provided by the CGI object

DESCRIPTION

       This is a very simple Template Toolkit Plugin interface to the "CGI" module.  A "CGI" object will be instantiated via the following
       directive:

	   [% USE CGI %]

       "CGI" methods may then be called as follows:

	   [% CGI.header %]
	   [% CGI.param('parameter') %]

       An alias can be used to provide an alternate name by which the object should be identified.

	   [% USE mycgi = CGI %]
	   [% mycgi.start_form %]
	   [% mycgi.popup_menu({ Name	=> 'Color'
				 Values => [ 'Green' 'Black' 'Brown' ] }) %]

       Parenthesised parameters to the "USE" directive will be passed to the plugin constructor:

	   [% USE cgiprm = CGI('uid=abw&name=Andy+Wardley') %]
	   [% cgiprm.param('uid') %]

METHODS

       In addition to all the methods supported by the "CGI" module, this plugin defines the following.

   params()
       This method returns a reference to a hash of all the "CGI" parameters.  Any parameters that have multiple values will be returned as lists.

	   [% USE CGI('user=abw&item=foo&item=bar') %]
	   [% CGI.params.user %]	    # abw
	   [% CGI.params.item.join(', ') %] # foo, bar
