The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can config data be stored in the script?

Asked by beegled in Perl Programming Language, Server Side Includes (SSI)

Hello,

I am having a hard time with storing config data in a script.  It's a mail script for a form that I am going to put on a site that I am wroking on for my Mom.  I don't know Perl and so I've been trying but everything I've tried either causes errors or just doesn't work.  The configuration data is in the form itself.  The form of course submits to the script.  I don't want all of this stuff visible in the form plus I'd kind of like to work it so that I can sort of configure how the e-mail looks that is sent to my Mom and the configure how the one looks that is sent to the person submitting the form.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  I posted the perl script for download at www.ownadream.com/mail.zip.

Thank you,

David
