I have all my forms validating. Yay!
The question I have is what happens after validation?
If I create a small form like this that doesn't use my validation stuff:
Form without validation:
<form action="" method="post">
<table>
<tr><td>Username:</td>
<td>
<select name="user_name">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="NAME1">NAME1</option>
<option value="NAME2">NAME2</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>
<input type="submit" value="Login" style="width:5em;">
<input type="reset" value="Reset" style="width:5em;">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="show_task_page" />
</form>
When I get to the "show_task_page" I can do "$q->param('user_name')" and
get the value from the form.
If I send my page through my validation I no longer can do that. I know
that because I am passing the value to another page that shows up when I
do it without validation and doesn't when I validate. I imagine it has
to do with how I am redirecting out of the validation.
Form with validation:
<form action="" method="post">
<table>
<tr><td>Username:</td>
<td>
<select name="user_name">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="NAME1">NAME1</option>
<option value="NAME2">NAME2</option>
</select>
<tmpl_var err_user_name>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>
<input type="submit" value="Login" style="width:5em;">
<input type="reset" value="Reset" style="width:5em;">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="_validate_main_form" />
</form>
Validation code:
sub _validate_task_form : Runmode {
my $self = shift;
my $q = $self->query;
my ( $results, $err_page ) = $self->check_rm('show_task_page', {
required => [qw/charge_ids project_names task_name
task_date total_hours/],
constraints => {
total_hours => qr/^(\d*(\.((00?)|(25)|(50?)|(75))0*)?)$/,
},
msgs => {
any_errors => 'err__',
prefix => 'err_',
},
});
return $err_page if $err_page;
$self->redirect('index.cgi?rm=show_next_page');
}
How do I pass the form elements after it has been validated?
I hope I have given you enough to go by this time. I am trying to get my
head around C::A and all. I suck at forms and I am trying to remedy that
too!
