I cant understand how to get a re-direct working. I searched for this on the boards and got php fix but I dont wanna get into php. Ill just screw that up!


print $query->redirect('boards_General.pl')

doesnt work! I get the error ;
Software error:
Can't call method "redirect" on an undefined value at /homepages/39/d87399782/htdocs/Internal/GENAddBoard.pl line 281.

Considering I placed a value there I dont understand.
I recon redirect is just a key word so how you would put a value in a keyword I dont know. Then again Ive probably miss read it!

Can anyone suggest a redirection solution as the form on my boards_general.pl calls the GENAddBoard.pl script which just sits there, all white and splender. I could put a link on there back to the boards_general.pl but that would still be sloppy!

Thanks

Looks like your script does not have the CGI.pm module

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard :form);
use strict;

my $cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->redirect('boards_General.pl');

__END__

So I took out use strict;

Now it reports

Status: 302 Moved location: boards_General.pl

which shows it works.......except it doesnt ..it remains on the GENAddBoard.pl page. 302 Moved Location??? It hasnt ...?


Whats missing?

Ive tried it with a '/' incase it did work and couldnt find the file but got the same: 302 Moved location: /boards_General.pl

[YUPAPA]

Remove the use strict if you do not declare vars in your script.

You need to slow down and actually read the documentation that comes with modules, youseem to just want solutions without any knowledge or understanding of whats going on. You don't have to know everything, but knowing how to use the CGI.pm module is one of the basics of making web based cgi scripts. That the time to read the CGI documentation:

http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/lib/CGI.html

www.perldoc.com is your best resource for online Perl information and documentation

I have read alot of perl. The problem is I havent used it for 3 months and my memory is bad. Also I get mixed up with all the other languages I know aswel so forgive me if I seem lending.

I will refresh my knowledge b4 asking but I did read about cgi perl mod trying to get this thing working . I did ask for a recommendation on a good book and I think it was YUPAPA suggested one, I havnt had a chance to get ahold of a copy as yet. Anyway I dont see why my current books dont cover all this - Maybe the O'reilly press isnt a good resource as everytime I lookup keywords there examples are either non-existant or very very brief.

I currently own (forgive my memory Im at work at the moment and cant remember the names exactly)


All O'rielly press - (I was recommended this press by a friend who said they were brilliant for Mysql I think he said..anyway he didnt know what they were like for perl)

Please forgive me if I sounded critical. My comments were in no way meant to make you feel like you can't or shouldn't ask any question or questions you wish to. They were offered in good spirit if not well stated.

The documentation of the CGI.pm file explains the two methods typically used with the module at the beginning of the doc.

http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/lib...GRAMMING-STYLE

Your books may not cover something as basic as that. Although I would think a beginner style book or the perl CGI book (which I have never read so I am just guessing) would cover the basics.

I wasnt getting back at you Millennium!
I was just giving you the reason why I wasn't intelligent enough to work the use cgi; mod

Anyway It still hasnt worked and Ive tried it with a http: address as that link to perldoc.com told me that this was what I needed to do when directing to the same loaction instead of a remote location from the server.

now I got the message 302 Moved location: http://www.24sos.co.uk/Internal/boards_General.pl

Someone's told me that its possible to redirect through meta tags so Im off to check this out- Ill come back to the board to display hopefully the answer to the solution (if I find it) for furture ref for any one having this same problem.

Thanks

print <<"EOF";
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.24sos.co.uk/Internal/boards_General.pl">;

There it is ! the solution to the problem! Meta Refresh
Change 0 to anything else for further delay of seconds ie;
print <<"EOF";
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="4;URL=http://www.24sos.co.uk/Internal/boards_General.pl">;
EOF

Would delay the redirection for 4 seconds.
Cool

print "Location: $whatever_url_you_want\r\n\r\n";

redirect is used by CGI.pm so you cannot call your own redirect
subroutine if you are using it. Just print to location as above...
