Hi Phil, I don't know if this is too late but --
Unless you want to use a shebang line, you should have PHP set up to
respond to all .php requests in your server first. The (non fast-) cgi
binary way of doing this in Apache would be to put this in .htaccess:
AddHandler php-cgi .php
Action php-cgi /path/to/php.cgi
A PHP script would differ from whatever perl html module you are using
there because you actually jump between PHP code and output (html)
code, so you want something like this:
------------------------------
<?php
if( isset( $_POST['name'] ) )
{
//...check password or whatever...
//forward request
header( "location: something?
LinkId={$_GET['LinkId']}&name={$_POST['name']}&pass=" .
md5( $_POST['password'] ) );
exit;
}
elseif( isset( $_GET['name'] ) )
{
//do whatever you wanted to do when authenticated
}
else { ?>
<form>
...
</form>
<?php } ?>
-----------------------------
Now you should take that example and figure out what is different
about how you need it, I.E. you probably want it to redirect to some
other URI instead of the same "something", and there should be enough
information in the example to figure out how to do that stuff.
Good Luck,
