Simple POST Form
Create an input form in your preferred HTML editor, set the form method to post and the form action to an rsp file:
<html> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <form name="form1" method="post" action="handle_it.rsp"> <p> Account_no: <input type="text" name="account_no"> <br> Title: <input type="text" name="title"> <br> Last_name: <input type="text" name="last_name"> <br> First_name: <input type="text" name="first_name"> <br> Initial: <input type="text" name="initial"> <br> Street: <input type="text" name="street"> <br> City: <input type="text" name="city"> <br> State: <input type="text" name="state"> <br> Zip: <input type="text" name="zip"> <br> Limit: <input type="text" name="limit"> <br> Balance: <input type="text" name="balance"> <br> Available: <input type="text" name="available"> <br> Notes: <input type="text" name="notes"> <br> Start_date: <input type="text" name="start_date"> </p> <p> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </p> </form> </body> </html>
Create the form handler rsp file. This is coded in Recital and the form data can be accessed from the _post[] dynamic array. Any ? display commands will be sent to the browser client.
<% open database southwind use example append blank replace ACCOUNT_NO with _post.account_no, TITLE with _post.title, LAST_NAME with _post.last_name, FIRST_NAME with _post.first_name, INITIAL with _post.initial, STREET with _post.street, CITY with _post.city, STATE with _post.state, ZIP with _post.zip, LIMIT with val(_post.limit), BALANCE with val(_post.balance), AVAILABLE with val(_post.available), NOTES with _post.notes, START_DATE with ctod(_post.start_date) ? "Data updated" close data %> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> </body>
