Hai,
This is something to save me and osme other people some time. Basically i need to read data from a text file and put that data in a a web form. It will be easy to read the text file but I don't know how to stuff that information into the relevant fields in a web form. Can point me in the direction of any articles, tutorials etc. If I can't do this in C++ can it be done in Perl?
I'm not sure how to do directly what you asked but if you put the information into a database, you can easily pull the information back out and populate the form with it using PHP.
I think you have to write a CGI program using C, C++ or some other language. Whatever you use you have to write out the entire page using HTML markup language.
