Assignment 3:

In this assignment, you will enhance the CGI program membership.cgi that you have written for Question 4 of Assignment 2. In addition to the existing input fields, your program should allow a new member to enter a username (a text field) and a password (a password field) when he or she registers. Before your program inserts a new record into the database, it should check if the same username has been previously used or not. Only if the same username doesn't exist will your program add a new record to the database.
In order to protect the password from illegal access or tampering, your program
should not store the password in plain text; instead, it should store a hash of the password, and
should add a random -salt- value to the end before generating the hash.
If the registration is successful, your program should send an email back to the new member by using his or her email address as the recipient. Your program should use admin-joyluckclub@une.edu.au as the sender's address. The content of the email should include the registration details, one line at a time.
To test your program, place membership.cgi in the public_html/ folder under your $HOME directory. The CGI file should have permission 744 (i.e. group and others only have read permission). Try entering your UNE email address as the recipient's address and see if you would receive a email with the correct details.
You can diagnose errors that might occur by viewing the files /var/log/httpd/error_log and /var/log/httpd/suexec.log.
Submission
Submit your CGI source file and any other HTML file(s) that you might have written using the submit program on Turing. Ensure you compile and test your code using test values of your own creation as part of your submission script, demonstrating that your program compiles without errors and works as expected.
