$Request->Form($name)
Returns the value of the input of name $name used in a form with POST method.
... Later on ...
$Request->QueryString($name)
Returns the value of the input of name $name used in a form with GET method, or passed by appending a query string to the end of a url ..
Check $Request->Params on the same page for a way to do what you want (I think) although thats not valid ASP..

Good afternoon, I'm hoping someone can help me with what has to be a simple
problem. This is almost definitely a case of USER ERROR on my part, but it
is giving me fits.
I want to call a URL, such as http://127.0.0.1/index.asp?field1=value1&field2=value2, and get the data from the URL. The url is the same as one generated by a form using the GET method to submit data.
I would like to use $Request->Form('field1') to get value1 from field1. It does not appear to work.
I did verify that QUERY_STRING does have the field1=value1&field2=value2 data in it.
I can also create a form using GET method and submit the data and still not see the data in Request->Form.
If I change the form to use the POST method, everything works. The only problem is I want to use GET and not POST. I need to create text (and/or image) links to the URL changing the value of field1 and field2 accordingly.
I have a minimal config, httpd.doc has:
<Files ~ (\.asp)> SetHandler perl-script PerlModule Apache::ASP PerlHandler Apache::ASP PerlSetVar Global /srv/www/lib PerlSetVar StateDir /tmp/asp </Files>
and global.asa is empty. There is no .htaccess file. The file I'm calling is "index.asp".
index.asp is very short (for testing purposes):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <h1>test 1</h1> <form method=GET> <input type=text name=field1 /><br /> <input type=text name=field2 /><br /> <input type=submit /> </form> <h1>results 1:</h1> <h2><%=$Request->Form('field1')%></h2> <h2><%=$Request->Form('field2')%></h2> <h1>test 2</h1> <form method=POST> <input type=text name=field1 /><br /> <input type=text name=field2 /><br /> <input type=submit /> </form> <h1>results 2:</h1> <h2><%=$Request->Form('field1')%></h2> <h2><%=$Request->Form('field2')%></h2> </body> </html>
This is on a SUSE9 Linux system.
I can very easily write somethign to read QUERY_STRING, but one of the
advantages of Apache::ASP is the form handling. I thought the Request object
included processing for data submitted with GET and put the values in Form.
Any clues or ideas?
Thanks, Greg
