Simple Lottery

This is a simple lottery web application.

This code has been created as a test assignment. It is not meant for public release, but of course you're free to do whatever you want with this. (Also see the license)

What is in here:

• adding participants
• persistent participant storage
• confirmation page
• picking a winner

What is not in here:

• removing participants
• SQL injection prevention (or any other kind of security)
• error checking

To build and run this, you'll need:

• sqlite3
• cgicc
• lighttpd (or another webserver) with cgi enabled.
• An sqlite3 database called "lottery.db" in /var/www/cgi-bin/ that's writable by lighttpd (on Debian-based distributions: user www-data). This database has a single table "participants": CREATE TABLE participants(id integer primary key asc, name text, email text);
