Hi there, thanks for looking at my project.
I have a cgi script which allows users to log in to an account, and add/edit/delete records in a simple tab-delineated flat text database.
The script recognizes records in a user’s account because each record in the flat text database has the user account code as one of its fields.
Last night, for some reason, the script became corrupted in some way, and no longer seems to be able to understand the database.
Right now, when any user logs in, the script shows 0 records in their account … in reality, each user has dozens or hundreds of records.
To view the problem, go to http://www.autopages.com/cgi-bin/cars.cgi and log in as “arm”, password “087sell”. As you can see, it shows 0 records. The correct number should be 40+.
I have double-checked and verified that the database itself is not corrupted. Many other scripts on our site use the same database, and they are all working correctly.
I have attached the script itself to this project so you can take a look.
Two important notes:
1.) This script (cars.cgi) has many special functions so we’re not shopping for a replacement for it … just someone to analyze why it’s not working and make the necessary minor adjustments.
2.) On our site, this script has a PHP “wrapper” that passes a cookie code into it. We do not believe that the wrapper is related to the problem, because the script is able to log in to an account with no problem. The problem is that it does not recognize an account’s listings.
This is an URGENT project, if you can fix the problem within 2 hours we will not only pay you, we will gladly make you our programmer of choice for many CGI projects in the future.
Thank you.
