Problem with Python CGI Script Output

33 New Member

Hi,
I trying to create web application that queries the database.The input from the form is not acquired by the variable and so correct output is not displayed.

May be my path is not correct - usr/bin/python..
can u suggest me...I m in dire need of help.

This is my HTML code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<form method="POST" action="/test/simple1.py">

<p>Your First name: <input type="text" name="firstname"> 

<p>Your Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname">

<p>Click here to submit form: <input type="submit" value="Yeah!">

<input type="hidden" name="session" value="1f9a2">

 </form>

this is python script

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
#!/usr/bin/python
 
# Import modules for CGI handling 

import cgi 

import cgitb;

cgitb.enable()
 
# Create instance of FieldStorage 

form = cgi.FieldStorage() 
 
# Get data from fields

first_name = form.getvalue('firstname')

last_name  = form.getvalue('lastname')
 
#print "Content-type:text/htmlnn"

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"

print "<html>"

print "<head>"

print "<title>Hello - Second CGI Program</title>"
 
print "</head>"

print "<body>"

print "<h2>Hello %s %s</h2>" % (first_name, last_name)

print "</body>"

print "</html>"

@Glenton
Actually variable first_name and last_name in script is not taking the value from form i.e inputs.
So my output is Hello None None.. Even if I enter my the names.

Try changing lines 12 to 14 from this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 # Get data from fields

first_name = form.getvalue('firstname')

last_name  = form.getvalue('lastname')

to this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 # Get data from fields

first_name = form['firstname'].value

last_name  = form['lastname'].value

I tried but not working.
I think there is something wrong with (xampp)apache configuration.

I have used mod_python and made changes to http.conf files.
also i have added publisher handler and cgi handler.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
</Directory>

<IfModule python_module>

    <Directory "/xampp/htdocs/test">

        AddHandler mod_python .py 

        PythonHandler mod_python.publisher

        PythonDebug On

    </Directory>
 
    <Directory "/xampp/htdocs/test">

        SetHandler mod_python

        PythonHandler mod_python.cgihandler

    </Directory>

</IfModule>

Do you think the problem due to this ?
