Pulling Input from HTML into Shell

I am trying to add to a Web page that I have, the ability to have users make requests as long as they key in a password.

Can anyone help me with validating the text from the text field on the Web page into UNIX?

Please let me know if I need to be clearer.

Thanks,

It sounds like you'll need a cgi script. Set up your web form to call the script as the 'action' and you'll find an environment variable avialable to your script named after the testbox name. Easy!
