Hi,
I’m developing a website where some data, input by the user has to be put into a database, based on certain conditions - i.e. when they input their name and the data, if their name is already in the database, then a new line with their name will NOT be created in the database, otherwise it will (this is a MySQL database). For this, when they post the data, a page will be shown to them saying “Same person” or “Not same person”. My question is - how to program this, that is, I would like the data that they’ve posted to be held on the client side, and if they click “Not same person”, then that data will be posted along with their name.
I would like to do this using cookies, which is why I’ve been Googling lots of pages on Perl sessions (which I think does cookie handling), but I’m totally new to all this - could someone help me as to how the data would be held on the client side between two different programs, ie. submit.cgi and notsame.cgi .
Thanks a lot.
