Hey guys, i have a problem. For offline mode i use xitami webserver, when i let my script read and write some lines from/to a textfile it works perfectly. But if i upload it to my server (into cgi-bin of course) it doesnt work. For reading from and writing to files i use the "open" and "print <FILEHANDLE> 'some text'" methods <br>
(if they're called methods or functions or <br>
whatever :)<br>
<br>
What's the problem? do i do it wrong or is it a server error, or doesnt my server support such commands?<br>
<br>
Thnx a lot for any help

Hi!<br>
<br>
One thing I noticed when I used to use Xitami for testing (I've moved on to Apache since, as it is used on most of the webservers I host on) is that it isn't quite so worried about HTTP headers as other web servers. Make sure the first text that is printed is done by a line like:<br>
<br>
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n!;<br>
<br>
This should sort it out. Do this before you print any other HTML to the server.<br>
<br>
Also, make sure you are writing data to the file, rather than to the web server! For example:<br>
<br>
open FILE, "<textfile.txt";<br>
print "Text"; #This prints to the HTML page.<br>
print FILE "Text"; #This writes data to the FILE. Note that there is no comma needed.<br>
close FILE;
