hidden variables with EncType="multipart/form-data"

virtualweb

Not able to pass variables data:

Hello .. Im building a form that uploads files with encType="multipart/form-data" but on the same form I need to pass other variables with hidden fields.

The files are uploading fine but Im not getting the values of the hidden fields,

How can I get hidden field values along with uploaded files in the same form..??

This is my form code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <form action="upload_file.pl" encType="multipart/form-data" method="Post">

<input type=file name="FILE">

<input type="hidden" name="URL" value="$URL">

<input type="hidden" name="Alias" value="$Alias">

<INPUT type=submit value="Upload File">

</form>

Im attaching the perl script that handles the upload under the name of Upload_Perl_Script.txt

Thanx beforehand

I see your above form code and I have a question. Is that code being sent to the browser by a Perl script, or is it just an HTML file? If it is a Perl script, can we see it as well?

If they are not set, then I assume there is an issue with your variables being set as shown above and you should look into that first to ensure they are being set.

That script is written to get only numbered file upload fields. How are you getting $URL and $ALIAS into that form you posted anyway?

KevinADC

assuming your form is populated correctly:

change this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

     use CGI; 
 
    $max_num_files  ||= 1;

    $Data         ||= $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'};

    undef @bad_extensions if @good_extensions;

change to:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
    use CGI; 
 
    $max_num_files  ||= 1;

    $Data         ||= $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'};

    undef @bad_extensions if @good_extensions;

    $alias = $req->param("Alias");

    $url = $req->param("URL");

now you use $url and $alias in the perl script however you need them.

Hi KevinADC:

I appreciate your help.. I had tryed your solution prior to posting for help here, and it didnt work. This made me think that uploading a file was different than passing text as a variable.

Second time around worked just fine..

Thanx a million
