I wouldnt care if it were written in Basic. In this case my definition of "better" would be simplest. Kindof like a game my programmers used to play called "I can do that in # lines of code".

Re: OT: Look what I can do...
 

Well, do you want to learn how to do it yourself, or do you want a freebie or something? I think there are some free Perl cgi scripts...

Re: OT: Look what I can do...
 

No on the learning. Ive got a ton of books and help sites on that. I just want something that I click and it sends
"D:\Program Files\Space Empires IV Gold\Empires\mine.emp". No questions, no choices. If its simple enough then it will serve my purpose of being able to modify it on the fly.

I thought there might be someone here who writes their own CGI's. If not then no problem, I can keep asking around.

What kind of webserver you running? I assume some kind of Apache, right?

Re: OT: Look what I can do...
 

Debian Linux, Apache. Dedicated, full root so anything can be added if its not already there for this.

Im half trying to move toward handling some PbEM games from the SysAdmin upward side of it rather than the WebMaster downward side usually used. The one stumbling block that I keep meaning to work on and never do, is an upload routine. Simple, single file going to a single location, no options. If someone can do that, great. If not then I will put it back on the back-burner till I get around to it.

Re: OT: Look what I can do...
 

No promises, but I'll look into it. I'm pretty busy with work and the beta, but it should be really easy.

http://cgi-lib.berkeley.edu/ex/fup.html
Something like the above? It looks to be a fairly common Perl lib that takes a HTTP POST from the HTML form.

Re: OT: Look what I can do...
 

No. Thats the kindof thing I found plenty of in google. But thanks. I can add it to my list of "maybe this one stipped down if I ever get time and motivation for it".

Re: OT: Look what I can do...
 

Well, I don't understand what you want then. You want a webpage you visit to automatically upload a file from the user's computer? That just isn't very possible with standard Perl/PHP/HTML stuff. You can create a default value for the HTML input, if that is what you mean.

Re: OT: Look what I can do...
 

I think he wants a script that will upload a file in a specific location on his computer to a specific location on his webpage, so that if he wants to upload something different, all he has to do is change the addressing.
