Simple POST Form

Create an input form in your preferred HTML editor, set the form method to post and the form action to an rsp file. Save the file in a samples sub-directory of DB_WWWROOT.

example_form.htm:

<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<form name="form1" method="post" action="handle_it.rsp">
<p> Account_no: 
<input type="text" name="account_no">
<br>
Title: 
<input type="text" name="title">
<br>
Last_name: 
<input type="text" name="last_name">
<br>
First_name: 
<input type="text" name="first_name">
<br>
Initial: 
<input type="text" name="initial">
<br>
Street: 
<input type="text" name="street">
<br>
City: 
<input type="text" name="city">
<br>
State: 
<input type="text" name="state">
<br>
Zip: 
<input type="text" name="zip">
<br>
Limit: 
<input type="text" name="limit">
<br>
Balance: 
<input type="text" name="balance">
<br>
Available: 
<input type="text" name="available">
<br>
Notes: 
<input type="text" name="notes">
<br>
Start_date: 
<input type="text" name="start_date">
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Create an rsp wrapper file for the html file in the samples directory.

form_example.rsp:

<%@ Language=Recital %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Recital Web Sample Form</title>
</head>
<%@ include="/samples/example_form.htm" %>
</html>

Create the form handler rsp file in the samples directory. This is coded in Recital and the form data can be accessed from the _post[] dynamic array. Any ? display commands will be sent to the browser client. Convert any data types (CTOD() before loading the post[] data into the table.

handle_it.rsp:

<%
_post.start_date = ctod(_post.start_date)
open database southwind
insert into example from name _post
? "Data updated"
close databases
%>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
</body>

Run the form:
