I'm using AWS 1.1 on Red Hat with Gnat 3.15p and APQ 2.1. (Version 1.1
because i didn't install it, and the person who did, wanted an RPM, and we
could only find one for 1.1).
I'm sorry if this seems very simple but i can't quite work it out.
I want to produce a program which uses AWS to make pages (or calls pre-made
html pages) with input boxes on them. The input from these boxes would then
feed into my Ada program and this input would decide how i edited the MySQL
database i am using. E.g. if one of my html pages was to query the db there
would be a box to enter which fields to display. I then want to output the
db output to the screen using AWS and html pages. I can produce the pages
using AWS.Server.build.
I just want to put a html front to a 'normal' Ada program really(and allow
it to work accross a LAN).
But my problem at the moment is i can't use the string which is returned
from 'Get'. I believe it's to do with the form parameters, but i can't do
anything useful with them yet. I want to get the users' input into a string
which i can then compare against, and enter into the db.
Could anyone please give me an example of how to output some simple boxes to
create a form, then to get the data entered into a format i can use through
my whole Ada program.
Thanks, andy
