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!

Updating a cgi variable with php

Asked by Simon336697 in PHP Scripting Language, Perl Programming Language, CGI Scripting

Hi guys hope you can assist :>)

Basically, I have 2 files in question.

1)
<server>simeswiki/testing/hozfilm/hozimages_art.php
and
2)
/cgi-bin/file-upload.cgi

In file 1), there is an upload form which upon submission, sends data to file 2).

In file-upload.cgi, there is a perl variable defined for what directory to store the uploaded files.

That variable is defined in that cgi file as follows...

$SAVE_DIRECTORY = "/var/www/html/simeswiki/uploader";

So, as you can see, at the moment it is hardcoded..... which is what i want to change.

#######################
WHAT IM TRYING TO DO:
#######################

Id like a way to do the following:

For the following file eg. file 1)   ----->  simeswiki/testing/hozfilm/hozimages_art.php

to have some kind of an included php function file that:

A) grabs the current folder path for simeswiki/testing/hozfilm/hozimages_art.php
eg.         /var/www/html/simeswiki/testing/hozfilm

then

B) updates the $SAVE_DIRECTORY variable in the cgi file eg. File 2) ---> /cgi-bin/file-upload.cgi
full path is /var/www/cgi-bin/file-upload.cgi

So, after the function fires, whatever is previously set for $SAVE_DIRECTORY, for example:

$SAVE_DIRECTORY = "/var/www/html/simeswiki/uploader";

would change to:

$SAVE_DIRECTORY = " /var/www/html/simeswiki/testing/hozfilm";

if the page being viewed was:
simeswiki/testing/hozfilm/hozimages_art.php

Another example:

If my php page was:

simeswiki/testing/test01.php

then, if the included function file was included for simeswiki/testing/test01.php,

then the /cgi-bin/file-upload.cgi file would be updated to reflect:

$SAVE_DIRECTORY = " /var/www/html/simeswiki/testing";

I hope this makes sense guys.

Any help on this would be really appreciated.Start Free Trial
