Rounding Out the CGI-Based Entry System


As I said in the previous section, this will be the final incarnation of this script in its current form, because I want to move this process on to the development of a wider framework that will include this functionality. This is not to say that this component of the wider system will not undergo further modification as the system moves forward, but when it is modified it will likely have changed form sufficiently that if you were to jump to that point now without going through the intervening sections you would likely not recognize it.



Most of the changes found in this iteration could be considered as clean-up changes in the sense that they involve ironing out a few kinks in the previous incarnation to increase legibility and provide better hooks to input from outside. Only a couple of these changes are in the interface script (in this iteration full_5.cgi in the samples file), the remainder are in the insert script.
