Redirect

[deppeler]

I have a script that edits/writes a flat file DB.
After execution the script redirects the user to another script - advstoy.pl (to choose another option).
Is there a way to make the script reload the same page as was just edited?

Here is a sample of the code:

$databaseview='http://www.mysite.org/cgi-bin/admintoy/advstoy.pl';
print "Location: $databaseview\n\n";

I tried this:

print "Location: http://www.mysite.org$ENV{QUERY_STRING}\n\n";

but it comes up with "Page Cannot be Displayed" error, I think because it is in the cgi-bin.

Is there a way to get the same page of the script to reload, so the user can see the result of their edit?

thanks

There really is not enough information to offer more than a general suggestion. You need to program the functionality you want into your advstoy.pl script and send the relevent parameters back to the script in the print "location:" line.

print "Location: http://www.you.com/cgi-bin/advstoy.pl?page=foo&key=value&key=value\n\n";

That should work as long as advstoy.pl knows what to do with the query string data it recieves.

In your post this looks like it should work if the URL is correct:

$databaseview='http://www.mysite.org/cgi-bin/admintoy/advstoy.pl';
print "Location: $databaseview\n\n";

PS:

Make sure you are using the "strict" pragma in your perl programs.
