kidd User Feb 28, 2002, 6:29 PM Post #1 of 10 (4767 views) Cookies 2 Can't Post Can any one help with a CGI that checks how many times the user logged in on my site, and after the fifth time he's redirected to anothe page...

I throught this does the trick: [perl] use CGI qw(:cgi); my $times = cookie('Cookie_Name') || 0; if($times > 5) { print redirect('some_url'); # Your redirect needs to be printed to the browser. exit; } else { set_cookie(); } sub set_cookie { my $cookieObj = cookie(-name => 'Cookie_Name', -value=> $times); print header( -cookie => $cookieObj ); # Send cookie with HTTP header } [/perl] btw, use CGI qw(:cgi); would be enough for CGI programs.

You don't need exit, because after successful completion of the program, it exits anyway. You can use exit to prematurely quit a program (that is, to not run the rest of it), but I always recommend writing programs so that it doesn't need to exit. Also, if memory serves, you should never use exit in a program that's supposed to run on mod_perl. One of the mod_perl gurus can confirm/deny this

yapp User Mar 6, 2002, 5:54 AM Post #8 of 10 (4726 views) Re: [Jasmine] Cookies 2 [In reply to] Can't Post Oeps! I forgot that. I'm still planning to find out more about mod_perl, and do something with it... - Can the exit be overwritten? - my print_footer_HTML() function exits my program by default. - in the main loop, an error page will be displayed when an invalid show= option has been passed through (script.cgi?show=x) Yet Another Perl Programmer _________________________________ ~~> [url=http://www.codingdomain.com]www.codingdomain.com <~~ More then 3500 X-Forum [url=http://www.codingdomain.com/cgi-perl/downloads/x-forum]Downloads!

Jasmine Administrator Mar 6, 2002, 9:08 AM Post #9 of 10 (4723 views) Re: [yapp] Cookies 2 [In reply to] Can't Post Yep, you can override any built-in function with use subs [perl]use subs qw/ exit /; sub exit { print "hello"; } exit; # prints hello[/perl] Then later, if you wanted to use the overridden function as it was before you changed it, just prepend CORE:: to the sub name, like so: CORE::exit;.

yapp User Mar 6, 2002, 11:12 PM Post #10 of 10 (4716 views) Re: [Jasmine] Cookies 2 [In reply to] Can't Post OK, then I'll make my own exit, that does a Apache->exit for mod_perl. How can I test for mod_perl? Can you show me some code?
