I have httpd 2.2 / windows xp My cgi program (ansi c) is failing to echo arguments from an xhtml form. Thinking this is common. Can anyone point to common configuration errors which would result in something like this. The resulting web page says: "(null)" * the form is sending correctly using the mailto: method. * the program works from the command line * the form is triggering hardwired output from the program. * the program will echo argv[0] (program path) in the web output but not argv[1] which should be the name=value pairs thanks < emjay! > --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.

Either way, you'll need to parse the input (QUERY_STRING or stdin) to break the name/value pairs apart. -spc (I have a library for that sort of thing---works well under Unix, and an older version *was* successfully ported to Windows, but that was about seven years ago ... ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
