Install apache2 on your system can we we will run ‘hello.py’ on host ‘127.0.0.1’
It is recommended to have basic knowledge of HTML before trying this example.
hello.py
#!/usr/bin/python3 # Importing the 'cgi' module import cgi print("Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n") print("<html><body>") print("<h1> Hello Program! </h1>") # Using the inbuilt methods form = cgi.FieldStorage() if form.getvalue("name"): name = form.getvalue("name") print("<h1>Hello" +name+"! Thanks for using my script!</h1><br />") if form.getvalue("happy"): print("<p> Yayy! I'm happy too! </p>") if form.getvalue("sad"): print("<p> Oh no! Why are you sad? </p>") # Using HTML input and forms method print("<form method='post' action='hello2.py'>") print("<p>Name: <input type='text' name='name' /></p>") print("<input type='checkbox' name='happy' /> Happy") print("<input type='checkbox' name='sad' /> Sad") print("<input type='submit' value='Submit' />") print("</form") print("</body></html>") |
