The CGI Wizard is the easiest way to customize a cgi script to collect data from fillable pdf forms, traditional HTML forms, and dynamic HTML forms generated by OmniForm 4.01. For example, the cgi wizard pulls the database labels from an OmniForm form, and inserts all the appropriate notations into your target cgi template saving you hours of work. It's purpose is to open OmniForm forms, read in all the field names, allow you to select a CGI template and generate a CGI Perl script that contains all the fields that were embedded in the OmniForm form. This should facilitate the deployment of OmniForm in web environments where a script needs to be run to process the data from an OmniForm form.
Variables used within CGI templates Within the CGI templates exists three predefined variables.
The purpose of these variables is to act as placeholders for the CGI Wizard to fill in at runtime. Depending on which variables exist in a given template, the CGI Wizard will request these at runtime. This is an output filename that will be created and appended to collect data. Request the CGI to create based on your CGI template. Some can be found here .
