Use This At the top of your script
########################################
read (STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
@cgiPairs = split(/&/,$buffer);
foreach $cgiPair (@cgiPairs)
{
($name,$value) = split(/=/,$cgiPair);
$value =~ s/\+/ /g;
$value =~ s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
$form{$name} .= "\0" if (defined($form{$name}));
$form{$name} .= "$value";
}
########################################
This code stores the form values into $form{'value'}.
Now name your forms. For the banner source I'd name the form "bsource". Then the value is stored into $form{'bsource'}. Make sure you point the form action to your script also.
Now open the data file.
open(DB, ">>/full/path/to/file.db");
print DB "$form{'burl'}|$form{'bsource'}|so on|and so on|";
close(DB);
The >> means to append (write to the end of the file), you can also use > to overwrite and < to simply read only.
That's it.
