Script only displaying last entries made
Thread Solved |
I thought this script was working. I absolutely cannot get IIS to fully and completely work on my home comp. After making a special trip to school to test this thing out, it ends up that it's only displaying the last data entered instead of the averages, totals, etc. This thing is due for class tomorrow. I've changed around a few things here & there and it's still working no better (no worse either, far as that goes). Anyone have a clue what I need to do? In case it's needed, I'll post both the .html & the .cgi.

You have to generate your output while the file is opened and you are processing the data line by line. You generate the output after the file is closed, so naturally you will only ever get the last line of the file. A generic example of one way to do it:

So do I need to put a while loop in for each single cell, or can I do it like this:
-I can't truly run it at home to know for sure.

Not exactly like that but that is the general idea.
Pseudo code:
here print all html haedrs and any stuff that gets printed before opening the file.
open file
while (<>){
here print only the stuff that gets generated from reading the file
}
close file
print the ending html stuff here

First thing I would suggest you do is start using 'warnings'. That may point out a lot of syntax errors for you.
use warnings;
