Hello All,
I am trying to get information from a form and send it to a python
script without success..
Here is my objective:
User enters data in form --form send variables to python script -->
script runs and output result.
<OT topic="HTTP">
If the script has side-effects (adding/updating/deleting database
records, writing files, etc), the script should not "output results",
but redirect to another url where the user can see these results.
Else - if the script doesn't have side-effects (ie :a search form, ...),
then the HTTP method should be "GET", not "POST".
</OT>
the form code
<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/script.py" name="coord">Entre com
os dados <input name="data1"><br>
Entre com os dados <input name="data2"><br>
Vai magraum <button name="submete"></button></form>
<OT topic="HTML">
button elements don't submit the form - they in fact don't do anything
unless you attach behaviour to them with javascript. What you want here
is an input type='submit'.
Also, the "button" tag doesn't require a end tag.
<form method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/script.py" name="coord">
<label for="data1">Entre com os dados</label>
<input type="text" name="data1" id="data1"><br>
<label for="data2">Entre com os dados </label>
<input type="text" name="data2" id="data2"><br>
Vai magraum <input type="submit" name="submete">
</form>
</OT>
(cf Steve's answer and the cgi module's doc for your problem)
