Re: Re: Re: passing an array to a checkbox_group

[thatguy]

my tests seem to work ok, but I am unclear on how you are calling this from another script. do you mean as the action or some other means?

Update: seems to work when I added this after line 7 in the first script.

print $query->hidden('TblMenu');

is this what you were wanting?

OK - 'main' contains the form which calls 'second'

main:

use CGI;
$query = new CGI;
print $query->start_multipart_form("POST","second");
print $query->checkbox_group(-name=>'FieldNames',
                             -value=>[ @array ]);
$query->param(    -name=>'Tbl1',
                  -value=>'tabname';
print $query->submit('doWhat','Print Fields');
print $query->end_form;

second:

use CGI;
$query = new CGI;
$SFields = join(", ",$query->param('FieldNames'));
$STab    = $query->param('Tbl1');

The result is:
$SFields = Date, Forename, Middle, School
$STab = Nothing?????
