Sorry if this is a newb question, my experience is more with ASP and ASP.NET.
I have searched for an answer on this but I haven't found much info. If this is
the wrong list for this question then my apologies.
I realize there may not be one right answer but I would like to hear from other
people if there is a preferred method.
The issue is when I post a page that has a form and fields to be filled out.
Currently I am replicating the method I used with ASP, a submited page is
posted back to it self, with Mason I look to see if submit is true, and if so
then I move into the block to process the form. If there is a data validation
error in processing the form (ie blank field, improper format etc) then I end
up showing the same page with error messages around the offending fields. But
if everything checked out ok then I call my next page which in this case is a
success page.
Really looking for guidance and best practice on how to handle posts with Mason.
Very stripped down example:
<html>
<body>
<form method="POST">
<input type="text" name="Email_Address" size="25" maxlength="30" value="<%
$Email_Address %>">
<input type="password" name="Password" size="25" maxlength="30">
<input type="password" name="Confirm_Password" size="25" maxlength="30">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Create Account">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<%init>
if($Submit) { if($Email_Address eq '') {
$Message = "You must enter your Email Address"; goto END; }
if($Password ne $Confirm_Password) { $Message = "The
Passwords do not match. Please enter them again"; $Password = "";
$Confirm_Password = "";
goto END; }
my $Success = AccountManagement::Create_Account($Email_Address,
$Password, 1); }
END:
</%init>
