processing = signs in input
Hi,
I'm using embperl 2.0 b5
Not sure if this is a bug or what, but it never seemed to occor in 1.x
releases. It seems that entering a '=' inside an input item screws up %fdat
when processed.
Example:
<form method="POST" name="todo">
<input type="text" name="test">test=4</input>
</form>
------ die Dumper %fdat results:--------------------
[27155]ERR: 24: Error in Perl code: $VAR1 = 'message_subject test';
$VAR2 = '4';
------- shouldn't it be:-----------------------------
$VAR1='message_subject';
$VAR2='4';
So $fdat{message_subject} seems to be undefined. Is this a bug? Please let
me know if you have any ideas. Again, this didn't seem to occor in previous
1.x releases. Thanks,
-Patrick Tully-

Hi, sorry its been a while since i last replyed to this thread. I actually
found that this occurs ONLY if you POST the data. So a GET request works
ok. Here is the data dump from the code you gave me (slightly modified
because it has to be valid xsl):
GET Request (correct):
[19102]ERR: 24: Error in Perl code: $VAR1 = 'message_html';
$VAR2 = ' Hello <font size="3">there</font>. This is html.';
POST Request (incorrect):
[18184]ERR: 24: Error in Perl code: $VAR1 = 'message_html Hello <font size';
$VAR2 = '"3">there</font>. This is html.';
here is the modified code:
-EMPERL-----------------------------------
[-
use Data::Dumper;
die Dumper %fdat if(defined(%fdat));
-]
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<page name="test.epl">

[$ while (($k, $v) = each %fdat) $]
[+ "key = $k" +]|

[$endwhile$]
</fdat>
</page>

I have tried this, but it doesn't fails for me. I append you my test script.
Please run it as it is, when you press the submit button, you should see the
result at the top of the page. Does it come out right? If not, please send
me the output.
If it does come out right, try to modify it until you see the same error as
in your code.
Gerald
BTW. You shouldn't do the following (also it works most times):
> <textarea name="message_html" rows="" cols="">Hello <font>there</font>.
> This is html.</textarea>
Instead you have to escape the < and >, like
> <textarea name="message_html" rows="" cols="">Hello
<font>there>/font>,.
> This is html.</textarea>
When you don't have change the escape mode, Embperl will do this for you,
for any output you insert in the page

so i'm guessing its the equals sign. I also tried putting an equal sign in
other html input types such as a text with similar results. I also tried it
w/o the quotes around the '3' and got back similar results. Is there maybe
a setting i have to set or something? Seemed strange. Let me know if you
need any more info. Thanks,

Here is no message_subject, should the name of the input be message_subject
?
Do you have small example script that produces the error? If yes please send
it to me
