problem with multiple select
Hi,
I'm having problem to get the result of a <SELECT ... MULTIPLE> field in a
form.
something like this works file :
<FORM name=FormName method=post>
<SELECT name=aSelectField size=4 multiple>
<OPTION value=one>first</OPTION>
<OPTION value=two>second</OPTION>
<OPTION value=three>third</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</FORM>
<P>aSelectField2 : <%
@selectFields = $Request->Params('aSelectField');
print join ',', @selectFields
%>
</P>
But I also need to upload a file with this form.
When I add ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" to the form tag,
I can only retrieve the first selected item from aSelectField.
It's like the wantarray doesn't work anymore.
Does anybody know how to fix this ?
Anton.

Hi,
Thanks for the information, but it still doesn't work for me.
Can you test this on your server :
test1.html =
<FORM action="test2.html" name=FormName method=post
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<SELECT name=aSelectField size=4 multiple>
<OPTION value=one>first</OPTION>
<OPTION value=two>second</OPTION>
<OPTION value=three>third</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</FORM>
test2.html =
<P>aSelectField2 : <%
@selectFields = $Request->Form('aSelectField');
print join ',', @selectFields
%>
</P>
Notice the enctype in the form, I need this for de file-upload to work.
Anton.

I have this fixed in my dev version 2.15. If anyone wants
it, let me know. The diff was:

Re: problem with multiple select
Posted by JC Fant IV <jf...@hotmail.com>.
So here is what I cam up with. Looks to me like you will not be able to do
both at the same time.
Multiple select boxes are not pulling in with a from
ENCTYPE=="multipart/form-data".
I would be curious to know if anyone else has gotten this to work.
I attached an asp file for you to try. below is the code. I had to a.)
either post the information to two different pages. or b.) I chose to post
the file upload to itself and send the multiple select to a separate page.
If you want to see this in action try
http://www.planetofmusic.com/test1.html sorry I'm not actually loading any
of your files to my server, but I did test it and it worked correctly. All
files uploaded were placed in the select box then multiple selects could
then be shown on the second page. try it???
<%
my $filehandle = $Request->Form('attfile');
my $name;
my $hidden;
my $option;
if ($filehandle){
print $filehandle . "<br>"; # will get you the file name
#will give you a name for the file;
$filehandle =~ /(\w+)\.(\w+)/;
$name = "$1.$2";
$hidden .= '<input type="hidden" name="' . $name . '" value="' . $name .
'">' . "\n";
$option .= '<OPTION value="' . $name . '">' . $name . '</OPTION>' . "\n";
print "This is the name $name<br>";
my $data;
while(<$filehandle>) {
$data .= $_;
};
#don't really want people uploading thing right now.
#uncomment this to store them for yourself.
#open (fh, ">$name");
#print fh $data;
#close fh;
my $form = $Request->Form();
foreach (keys %$form){
if ($_ =~ /(\w+)\.(\w+)/){
$hidden .= '<input type="hidden" name="' . $_ . '" value="' .
$form->{$_} . '">' . "\n";
$option .= '<OPTION value="' . $form->{$_} . '">' . $_ . '</OPTION>';
}
}
}
%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<br>
Notice the first form posts to itself.<br>
<FORM name="doattach" id="doattach" action="test1.html" method="post"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<%= $hidden %><br>
I posted hidden variable here.<br>
Attach File: <input name="attfile" type="file"><br><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Attach File">
</form>
<br>
<br>
The second form posts to the second page.
<form name="doattach" id="doattach" action="test2.html" method="post">
<%= $hidden %><br>
I posted hidden variable here.<br>
and all options below.
<SELECT name="aSelectField" size="4" multiple>
<%= $option %>
</SELECT><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</FORM>

Re: problem with multiple select
Posted by JC Fant IV <jf...@hotmail.com>.
Seems to me that its not the fileupload part that's messed up... its in the
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" .
I tried even to submit the multiple select with out using the file upload
with a form tag......
<form name="doattach" id="doattach" action="test2.html" method="post"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
and I get the same thing, only one select value comes in... I really don't
think its on the Apache-ASP side.... Hey I have been wrong before and am
probably wrong again!!!

Re: problem with multiple select
Posted by Joshua Chamas <ay...@yahoo.com>.
There may be a bug here ... Apache::ASP handles
file uploads with different logic from other forms
by using CGI.pm for the underlying file upload
parsing. I'll look into this ( early next week )
and see if I can't make multiple select values behave
properly in this context.
