I just made a simple HTML file as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html><head><title>
NEW Test for CLI CGI vars</title>
</head><body>
CGI test
<form id="Form1" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/EventProcessor.php"
method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="Full_Name" value="MyName">
<input type="hidden" name="Email" value="MyEmail">
<input type="hidden" name="Reference" value="MyPWD">
<script language = "Javascript">
Form1.submit();
</script></body></html>
But now I have a problem with SQLite3 (from
http://www.php.net/manual/en/sqlite3.open.php):
$dbfile = 'C:/xampp/cgi-bin/SCGBG_Data.db'; //I tried with the file
in place and deleted
class MyDB extends SQLite3
{
function __construct()
{
$this->open($dbfile); //This is line 184
}
}
$db = new MyDB();
I get this error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Unable to expand
filepath' in C:\xampp\cgi-bin\EventProcessor.php:184 Stack trace: #0
C:\xampp\cgi-bin\EventProcessor.php(184): SQLite3->open('') #1
C:\xampp\cgi-bin\EventProcessor.php(188): MyDB->__construct() #2 {main}
thrown in C:\xampp\cgi-bin\EventProcessor.php on line 184
I originally used the older SQLite functions but the database I was using in
Perl was SQLite3, and it worked OK, but with much different syntax.
my $dbfile = "../SCGBG/SCGBG_Data.db";
my $db = DBI->connect( # connect to your database, create if needed
"dbi:SQLite:dbname=$dbfile", # DSN: dbi, driver, database file
...
$db->do("CREATE TABLE tEntries (
eid INTEGER UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY, etype TEXT,
et TEXT, eurl TEXT,
sdt DATETIME KEY, sdow TEXT,
edt DATETIME, edow TEXT,
ed TEXT)");
Any ideas? Or should I switch to MySQL?
Thanks,
Paul
