Error checking before CGI_Info ?

nipper

pounding my head.....

I want to check the files being submitted and return an error if some conditions are not met.

Since our first attempt (having a CGI task to display errors) was completely ignored by the users, I have to beat them over the head with the error.

So what I want to do is identify there is an error before the WF is really started (I can do that) and then hijack the CGI_Info directive.

Kind of like:

if ($is_an_error) {
CGI error screen;
} else {
Normal get comment CGI_Info
}


Can I do this ? Any tips/pointers/RTFMs greatly appreciated

Assuming that the "normal get comment CGI_Info" is really a bunch of TAG_info() statements - yeah - just put different TAG_info() stuff within the first section of your conditional.

Though you may have to beef up the conditional to take into account the multiple passes that are made through the wft during instantiation.
