Hello phpers,
I have a task I want to carry out in php 4.3 rather than perl 5.6.
Maybe you people can help me?
What I need to do is to catch a URL on a linux box htpp://IP/something?LinkId=1234
then I want to pop up a form to prompt for username and password.
then I need to do a MD5 hex hash ie 'test' gives
5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
then I want the browser to point to https://IP/something?LinkId=1234&name=xxx&password=MD5hash
I have very nearly done this in perl
Like so:
use Digest::MD5 qw(md5 md5_hex md5_base64);
my $LinkId = param( 'LinkId' );
print header,
start_html('Enter Logon Details'),
h1('Enter Details'),
# h1($CustomerId),
start_form (-action => "http://195.168.1.21//cgi-bin/tool3.cgi", -
method=>'GET'),
"What's your name? ",textfield('name'),p,
"What's your password? ",password_field('password'),p,
hidden(-name => "LinkId", -default => '$LinkId').
submit,
end_form,
hr;
That actually works, but the tool3.cgi although it has the 3 variables
populated as required password, the MD5 hash, username and LinkId and
I can build the https URL as required I cannot get the redirect to
work.
I either get an unhelpful error message cannot execute tool3.cgi or
nothing happens.
So I would like you php people to give me some help - cos it is after
9 pm in the UK and this is supposed to be deployed tomorrow morning
1st thing. As much help as you wish - from nothing cos you think I
should read the manual and browse the tutorials (quite right too- I
will when I get some time) or few pointers to get me started or maybe
even some code ...
Thanks in anticipation ;-)
Phil
