CGS3993, Assignment 5

Due Tuesday 3/30 at the start of class

You are to write several scripts for me. Add links to your server page to each script. Hand in a printout of each script.

For scripts 2 and 3 you will need to use the split and join functions.

Script 1

Write a script that will allow a user from your site to send you an e-mail message using the script http://www.cs.fiu.edu:12345/scripts/mailto.pl

You are to create a very nice form that acts as a frontend (or gateway) to the mailto.pl script. Read the section in the book about the mailto.pl script on pages 417 to 420. Check out feedback.html online.

Script 2

Write a script that does the following

• The first time it is called, display checkboxes for the which colors they would like to change: text, background, alink, and vlink. The user may select more than one to be changed. The input tags for these checkboxes in the form should have the same name, but different values.
• For each checkbox, display radio boxes for the allowable colors for that choice. Each checkbox should have a different group of radioboxes associated with it.
• When the user clicks the submit button, redisplay the page with the new colors. Be sure that the user's previous choices are still checked.

Script 3

Allow the user to enter the following

• First Name and Last Name as text boxes
• Favorite color as a selection list.
• Hobbies as a selection list with multiple choices

The first time this form is displayed, it should show a form where the user can fill in the above information.

When this information is submitted, the script should verify that each name has been filled in, that a color has been selected, and that at least one hobby has been selected. If not, redisplay the page with appropriate error messages. Be sure that the users previous choices are still visible.

If all the information is correct, use the last name as the key, and add all the user's information to a database file. If the user's last name is already in the file then this information will overwrite the user's previous information. As more people fill out the information, the database file will grow in size. Redisplay the page with the user's choices still selected. Also display the user's information as text and display a link that will display the contents of the file.
