[Active4d-dev] form values truncated -solved sort of

[Gary Pedretty]

I discovered that the truncation of the form values started appearing 
after I had upgraded my shell to the latest version including replacing 
the on web connection method.  It seems even though I am using 4D2003 
if you use the parts of the on web connection method from the shell, 
that are designed for 4D 6.7+ then the form variables get truncated.  
Of course now that I have done some further testing I am not sure that 
they are getting truncated, they may just be missing completely, as I 
am basing the truncation on doing a

get form variables($vaMySessionFormKeys;$vaMySessionFormValues)
        
set session array("MySessionFormKeys";$vaMySessionFormKeys)
                
set session array("MySessionFormValues";$vaMySessionFormValues)
and then using the dump session part of the a4d.web library to display 
the session items and the form variables..

In this display, the session arrays above are listed as type Array 
String(5;  and all the values are listed but truncated.  I have tried 
declaring the arrays first as text, but they still show up in the 
session as Array String(5;  If I declare them as Array String(80;  or 
greater,   they show up as Array String(21; which happens to be the 
length of the longest item in the array.

Even though  I now have the original logic of my scripts working in 
that the lines

form variables has("button.x")  are now working correctly..
I am still seeing that the form variable collection as put into the 
session as an array still exhibits the behavior of truncating.   And of 
course I am using the 6.5 lines of code in the On Web Connection, 
instead of the 6.7+ lines.

TIA
Gary...
