read textfield from using PERL
Hi,
I am trying to read data from the form's text field
using PERL script. Following is the perl code I am
using,
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI;
$cgiobject = new CGI;
$userphone=$cgiobject->param("textfield");
print qq#
welcome me !
$userphone
#;
"textfield" is a multiline text box in the form.
But, when I read it in the script, the textfield
looses the extra spaces or paragraph spaces from the
textfield. Will it be possible to get the data as it
is filled in the text field ??
Thanks,
Prashant

do you mean a form element?
html does not know what 'extra spaces' are. try running the data
through a regex to get it to display correctly in a browser.
i'd start with something simple:
my $text = $cgi->param('textarea');
$text =~ s/ / /g;

hi prashan,
don't add double quote at the textfield
$userphone=$cgiobject->param(textfield);

of course, that is incorrect. now perl will look for
a textfield function, which is not what you want.

it depends on what the user-agent decides to send.
