Hello and help, please. This is actually a CGI/Perl issue I am having but Perl seems to be the closest forum here.
I am having a very simple (hence very frustrating) problem with a CGI/ Perl script. For some reason if I pass things from a checkbox they all get passed fine but the last item is passed twice. I have excised a paired down script with the html and perl components. I am at wit's end with this. Please someone tell me what is going on. From fill_pg.html: <HEAD> <TITLE>Fill pg</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR=white> <FORM NAME=fill_pg ACTION="http://10.0.0.139/cgi-bin/fill_pg.pl" METHOD="post"> <h1>Please select the plants to search<br></h1><br> <input type=checkbox name=access value=AJ400848>Spinacia oleracea <input type=checkbox name=access value=DQ020642>Antirrhinum majus <input type=checkbox name=access value=AJ506156>Amborella trichopoda <input type=checkbox name=access value=AP000423>Arabidopsis thaliana<br> <input type=checkbox name=access value=AP009369>Arabis hirsuta <input type=checkbox name=access value=AM711640>Cuscuta reflexa <input type=checkbox name=access value=AJ316582>Atropa belladona <input type=checkbox name=access value=AP009370>Barbarea verna<br> <h1>Please select the gene you are looking for:</h1> <select name=gene> <option> petD <option> petB <option> rpoA </select> <CENTER> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="SUBMIT"> </CENTER> </FORM> </BODY> Now the Perl script: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; $forminfo = <STDIN>; @key_value_pairs = split(/&/,$forminfo); foreach $pair (@key_value_pairs){ ($key,$value) = split(/=/,$pair); $value =~ s/\+/ /g; $value =~ s/%([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg; $FORM_DATA{$key} = $value; print $FORM_DATA{'access'}; print"<br>"; print $FORM_DATA{'gene'}; } If I choose, say, the checkboxes corresponding to, say, AJ400848 and AJ316582 and the pulldown list item, say, petD .... this is what I get: AJ400848 AJ316582 AJ316582 petD How do I make it stop doing this?
