Hello. I am learning Python 3 from a .pdf from Tutorialspoint. I am at a stage where I'm learning how to write CGI programs. I copied the following program, which when run should result in
Here is a simple URL, which passes two values to hello_get.py program using GET method.
going to use the cgi module, which makes it very easy to access the passed information -
Hello ZARA ALISimple URL Example – Get Method
Here is a simple URL, which passes two values to hello_get.py program using GET method.
/cgi-bin/hello_get.py?first_name=Malhar&last_name=LathkarGiven below is the hello_get.py script to handle the input given by web browser. We are
going to use the cgi module, which makes it very easy to access the passed information -
#!/usr/bin/python3
# Import modules for CGI handling
import cgi, cgitb
# Create instance of FieldStorage
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
# Get data from fields
first_name = form.getvalue('first_name')
last_name = form.getvalue('last_name')
print ("Content-type:text/html")
print()
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>">)I modified the code, as it said "invalid syntax":#!/usr/bin/python3
# Import modules for CGI handling
import cgi, cgitb
# Create instance of FieldStorage
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
# Get data from fields
first_name = form.getvalue('first_name')
last_name = form.getvalue('last_name')
print ("Content-type:text/html")
print()
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>")And the result I'm getting now is:Content-type:text/html <html> <head> <title>Hello - Second CGI Program</title> </head> <body> <h2>Hello None None</h2> </body> </html>
