User:Jasper van Loenen/Prototyping/message
This form takes a name and a message as its input and uses Prowl [1] and Prowlpy [2] to send the message to my iPhone.
You'll find an active version of the form over here.
message.cgi

#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-
import cgi
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
query = cgi.FieldStorage()
msg = query.getvalue("msg", "") #getvalue is both GET and POST ($_REQUEST in PHP)
usr = query.getvalue("usr", "") #getvalue is both GET and POST ($_REQUEST in PHP)
#if a message and username have been found, the form was filled so import the Prowl library and send the message
if msg!="your message" and msg!="" and usr!="your name" and usr!="":
import prowlpy
apikey = '1234512345123451234512345123451234512345' #needs a valid Prowl API key, which you can generate on the website
