Re: How to parse after reading POST data in mod_perl 2 ?

[Sumitro Chowdhury <su...@yahoo.com>]

Thanks Philippe for the tip.
After looking at Apache2::Apache::compat and some
input from Randy Kobes, I came up with the following
package called getform.pm which gets the form data
into a hash without using Apache::compat.

(Hope it will help some newbie !!):

package ModPerl::getform;

use strict;
use Apache::Reload;

sub handler {
        my $r = shift;

        $r->content_type('text/html');

        my $form_input;

        # Read in the form - data ....
        #                                             
           
$r->read($form_input,$r->headers_in->{'Content-length'});
        $r->setup_client_block;
        print "Error" unless $r->should_client_block;
       
$r->get_client_block($form_input,$r->headers_in->{'Content-length'});

        my @args = map {
                       
s/%([0-9a-fA-F]{2})/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
                        s/\+/ /g;
                        $_;
                   } split /[=&;]/, $form_input, -1;

        my %input;
        while (my ($name,$value) = splice @args,0,2) {
                push @{$input{$name}}, $value;
        }

        $r->send_http_header;
        print "<BR>I got the following info:<BR><BR>";

        foreach (keys %input) {
                print "$_ => @{$input{$_}}<BR>";
        }


        return Apache::OK;
}
1;

Thanks guys,
This is a great list.
