Hey Folks,
I could use some help with the search script.
Can anyone help me?
Since My Server Does not support .pl files, I always convert them to .cgi files.
So installing the script, I made the proper adjustments:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl was as it should be
Chmoded the script at 777
I made these changes:
# Number of fields in each record
$fields = 10;
# The database text file
$filename =
"/web/f/r/freakygirlz/home/Webringz/Ringz/cgi-bin/ringlink/data/sites.db";
# maximum number of results to display
$results = 50;
# Search Script URL
$script_url =
"http://freakyplanet.com/Webringz/Ringz/cgi-bin/ringlink/data/search.cgi";;
# webmaster eamil
$webmaster_email = "webmaster\@freakyplanet.com";
Then I had to go in and fix the colors to what we use:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" LINK="#ffffff" ALINK="#ffff00" VLINK="#ffffff"
text="#ffffff">
<TABLE WIDTH="640" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="2" CELLPADDING="0">
<TR>
<TD>~;
print "<CENTER><BR><br>\n";
print "<FONT SIZE=-1 COLOR=FFFFFF FACE=\"helvetica,arial\"><b>Search
Results</b><br>\n";
print "<FONT SIZE=-1 COLOR=FFFFFF FACE=\"helvetica,arial\">Search Terms:
<b>$searchstring</b></CENTER>\n";
print "<HR width=80%><BR><UL>\n";
$counter = 0;
And so on and so forth ...
Called the script directly ...
