web programming question

Mar 13th, 2007

Hi,
I'm working on a OOP school project, and I'm trying to add a web interface to it; however, my experience working with html forms is limited. Anyways, I'm trying to set up a user login, where the user enters some info onto a form. I want to pull the info out and send it to some modules I've already written. If the user validates then pull up the next webpage. I wrote some stuff, but I don't really understand how to tell the cgi module how to open the next page if the info is good, or how to create multiple response page depending on the info contained on the forms. None of this has to be deployed.
Here's what i've written so far:
