EiffelWeb Sample |
This sample shows how to retrieve and display information from a basic form on a web page.
Note: This sample requires a web server supporting CGI in order to be run. Both the Internet Information Services web server from Microsoft and the GNU Apache server may be used.
To compile the example:
You should copy the file web_demo.exe in the cgi_bin directory of your web server and the file sample.html in a directory on the web server.
To run the example, access the page sample.html that you copied on the web server with a web browser (typically http://localhost/sample.html). Fill in the text field with a username and click Submit. You should see a page displaying the name you just entered. Although not earth-shattering, this sample shows the basis for building more complex forms processing in Eiffel.
This basic sample has just one class SAMPLE which inherits from CGI_INTERFACE. SAMPLE implements execute which retrieves the name entered in the form and creates a new HTML page with it.
See the reference for the class interfaces.
