Re: How to access an unknown number of CGI variables in a CGI script

in reply to How to access an unknown number of CGI variables in a CGI script

Here you go...

use strict; use warnings;
use CGI;

# do some other stuff.....


# either functional style...
my @students = param('student[]');

# OR OO-style...
my $query = CGI->new;
my @students = $query->param('student[]'); 

# OR Gangnam-style.....
# no just kidding :-)


# now process your student input,
# remember to check no one is sending you weird data .....

foreach my $student (@students) {
   # wibble
}

Thanks much! Is it possible to do it without using CGI.pm?

Sure, why do you ask?

Well, I haven't used CGI.pm in my script. I can use it if I need to, but I'm wondering if it's possible to accomplish the above without the use of CGI.pm? Thanks.
