Lesson - 66 : Python Advanced - Python CGI Programming : Passing Information Using POST Method

**************************************************
**************************************************

Python CGI Programming : Passing Information Using POST Method:
A generally more reliable method of passing information to a CGI program is the POST method. This packages the information in exactly the same way as GET methods, but instead of sending it as a text string after a ? in the URL it sends it as a separate message. This message comes into the CGI script in the form of the standard input.
Example :
#!/usr/bin/python
# Import modules for CGI handling
import cgi, cgitb
# Create instance of FieldStorage
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
# Get data from fields
print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n"
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＞”

First Name: ＜input type="text" name="first_name"＞＜br /＞ Last Name: ＜input type="text" name="last_name" /＞ ＜input type="submit" value="Submit" /＞
＜/form＞
