Thanks for this tip! This example should definately be added to the tutorial section of the mod_python-docu, because: 1. Parsing form-variables is the first thing a newby to mod_python wants to do 2. No information about req.form() available under: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/genindex.html http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-mprequest-meth.html http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-mprequest-mem.html I spent the last few hours wondering about req.read() (which returned no string, even if req.headers_in["content-length"] showed a length different from zero. len = int(req.headers_in["content-length"]) req.write("%s" % len); # printed something about 40 req.write("%s" % req.read()); #printed nothing req.write("%s" % req.form.keys()); # worked fine pixtur python newby > > <form name="test" action="somefunction" method="POST"> > <input type="hidden" name="foo" value="1"> > <input type="hidden" name="bar" value="milkyway"> > <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Try me!"> > </form> > > the variables will be available in the function like this: > > def somefunction(req): > x = req.form['foo'] > y = req.form['bar'] > result = """<html> > <head> > <title>foobar</title> > </head> > <body> > <p>I would like %s %s. </p> > </body> > </html> > """ % (x, y) > return result > > Note that the values of multiple form elements of the same name will > be returned as a list, so process accordingly.
