Using uprecords as CGI program --------------------------------- Copy the uprecords binary to your CGI directory and rename it: cp uprecords /www/cgi-bin/uprecords.cgi Uprecords will automatically recognize it is being run as CGI program by it's .cgi filename and add the necessary Content-type header and some HTML tags. 2. Configuring the output of uprecords as CGI program ----------------------------------------------------- When run as CGI, uprecords.cgi checks for a file called uprecords.conf in the current (= cgi-bin) directory. This configuration file allows you to control the way uprecords.cgi will look. LAYOUT can be any of "pre", "list", or "table". "pre" uses the

 tag to
create output close to that of running uprecords from the console and is the
default option. "list" creates a list using the  and  tags and
"table" creates a table using the ,  and  tags.

SHOW_MAX defines how many entries should be shown at maximum.

If the file uprecords.header is present, it will be printed before the
output. You can use this to create the most smashing looks, from a simple
 tag to change to background colour to a comprehensive page including
all the latest CSS style-sheets. If the file uprecords.footer is present, it
will be printed after the output.

There are some sample files in the sample-cgi/ directory of this package.

3. Inserting the output of uprecords into existing pages
--------------------------------------------------------

You can include the output within existing HTML pages to get the same
lay-out as the rest of your site using server-side includes, PHP, etc.

Example tags to put within your pages:
