Send form data to another page as text

[aquaminerale]

hello all- i'm updating an old website and they have a sort of self-serve reseravtion system for their ski club. members fill out a reservation form then when submitted, the simple text data shows up on this other page that they can access to see reservations that are already made. It seems like a simple thing to set up but i can't figure out how they did it. i have the new site and form set up in dreamweaver but i can't figure out how to coax the completed form data into another page.

here's the old site info:

randolphskiclub.org

reservation page: http://randolphskiclub.org/secure/reservationpage.shtml

data page: http://randolphskiclub.org/secure/reservationout.txt

password: skiRSC2018

any help/clues would be greatly appreciated.

When the form is submitted, the action page - http://randolphskiclub.org/secure/reservation.cgi - handles the process. I assume that it enters the data into the text document.

thanks for your response. i'm trying to build that same functionality into the new website. in other words, tell the new form i created to do the same (or similar) thing with the data.

to be clear, get the new form to similarly send the data to a text file or html page.

You can set the action page such as

<form action=/secure/reservation.cgi method="POST">

and it will do the same as it does currently.

I haven't touched Perl / CGI in ages.  A list was published in 2014 of the 5 programming languages marked for death: Perl, Ruby, Visual Basic, Flash and Pascal.

PHP was inspired by Perl. Nowadays, PHP is preferred over Perl for web applications.  Since you're rebuilding the site anyway, this might be a good opportunity to upgrade your form processing scripts, too.
