Getting unknown form input values

[Skute]

Hi,

i currently have a form which can have any number of unknown form values in it. for instance:

<input name=&quot;status_[% bugid FILTER html %]&quot; type=&quot;radio&quot; value=&quot;pass&quot;>

So one time there may be 2 sets of radio buttons with names:
status_37
status_65

Another time they might be:
status_9
status_15

I have a list of the different IDs needed seperated by &quot;,&quot; ie:
ids = 37,65,
ids = 9,15,

a) How can i break down the comma seperated list of ids into an array of ids
b) How can i get the values of the radio buttons?

cheers

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use CGI;
my $cgi_obj = new CGI;
print $cgi_obj->header,
    $cgi_obj->start_html;

my @params = $cgi_obj->param;
print '<ul>';
foreach (@params) { print &quot;<li>$_</li>\n&quot;; }
print '</ul>',
    $cgi_obj->end_html;

I think that will work.

'hope this helps

my @arrayname = (&quot;37&quot;,&quot;65&quot;,....);


as far as getting the values, you'll probably have to get te values of all form elements. then strip out everything but the radio buttons.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

This is the code i used:

@bugids = split(/,/, $bugid);
for (my $i = 0; $i <= $#bugids; $i++) {
detaint_natural($bugids[$i]) || ThrowUserError(&quot;invalid_bug_id&quot;
my $status_name = &quot;status_&quot; . $bugids[$i];
my $outcome_name = &quot;outcome_&quot; . $bugids[$i];
$results{$bugids[$i]} = $::FORM{$status_name};
$outcome{$bugids[$i]} = $::FORM{$outcome_name};
}

It works well
