FLASH: OT : CGI script for remotely updating

[p-h]

Hi all !


Here's a (slightly) unrelated question to the flasher's main activity - but

it's very likely that some of you already encountered the problem :


My client want to be able to remotely update one page (there's actually 4 of

them but it will only be a matter of "cloning") of his website featuring the

"buy" and "sell" price of his products (gold coins and bars and various

currencies).


To keep it simple (and to be honest, manageable by me ! ;o) I am thinking of

doing it via an html form where the client will fill in fields, then the

data will be sent to a CGI that will parse it and return an "on the fly"

HTML page with the data neatly arranged in a table, along with the

appropriate header/footer stuff so the processed page will follow the main

site's template.


So the question is : does anyone of you  know where to find such a code,

either a "turnkey script" (hehe :o) or some bits of code or even hints as

how to reassemble myself a suitable CGI.


I think that the procedure used for tricks like "have your own free

guestbook on your website" will be close enough to what I need, but any

other suggestion is welcome...


Thank you !
