I know this isn't really standard C++, but
does anyone know how you can read POST variables in form submittal. I
know for GET it is getenv you use.
Help much appreciated,
Hm. I typed "cgi post get" into the browser's search box, clicked on the
second Google result (the first was in Japanese or Chinese or something),
and voilà, a Perl subroutine to read CGI input regardless of method. Now
all you have to do is to translate that from Perl to C++, which is easy.
Btw., there's always more than one way to skin a bear.
So don't get too hung up on "I know that to do X one uses Y"; in a large
number of cases (including this one) that's just _one_ cookbook recipe,
and perhaps the cookbook author had to write something everyone could
use regardless of skill and equipment, or was illustrating a particular
technique, or whatever: _think_ (e.g. like I did when I saw your question),
and only use recipes as starting points, or at least make sure you
understand the recipes you use literally without modification.
