What does "it doesn't seem to work" mean?
Error messages/traceback? What does your form & script contain? More
info on the problem is definitely required!

HTML Forms
Hey Jonathan, All,
Thanks I tried your solution, but it
doesn't seem to work. Can anybody shed some more light on this
situation, since what Jonathan provides is exactly what I want to do, but it's
not working.
Am I forgetting to put parameteres or some other newbie
mistake like that?
Thanks in advance and thanks again
Jonathan.

Form variables are stored in REQUEST. In a
python script you gain access to REQUEST by:
REQUEST =
container.REQUEST
you can then access the form variables
by:
fname = REQUEST['first_name']
you can check for the presence of a form
variable by
if
REQUEST.has_key('first_name'):
or
if REQUEST.get('first_name',
None):

Subject:
[Zope] Python Scripts and HTML Forms
Dear Trusted Zope Zealots,
This subject was a bit too
broad to do a google search on, because I've tried and the lack of relevancy
was astounding.
I've probably been committing a cardinal sin in DTML,
but I couldn't figure any other work around.
I have an HTML form in
a DTML Document say:
<form action=""
method="post"
Name:<input type="text"
name:"first_name">
</form>
I want to use
"first_name" in a python script, but what I've been doing is setting it in
the process_this_form, which is a DTML method:
DTML Method,
process_this_form:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.SESSION.set ('firstName',
first_name)>
<dtml-call "this_is_a_python_script()">
and
in the Python Script, this_is_a_python_script
I use
REQUEST.SESSION.get('firstName')
What my question is, is there anyway
to directly access "first_name" from the form in the python script without
having to have to call the <dtml-call " REQUEST.SESSION.set('firstName',
first_name)> and then REQUEST.SESSION.get('firstName') in the python
script. Sort of a sophomoric question, but any help would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
