> CGI Error(s)I have the script below, where I request information from a
form. After making sure that the from has the fields I need, I would like
for it to write the information to a file. How do I pass the CGI fields to
another function? Thanks Carlos-- Script so far #!/usr/local/bin/python """

using the back button in your browser and corrent the errors before
submitting the form again. \n""" def WriteData(): # Should I put the fomr
variable here in order to be able to write the form fields to a file? file =
