Re: Variables within variables.

I was just fixing some (really stupid) mistakes in the Petal 
QUICKSTART pod documentation and found the answer to this question.

The Petal docs say this:

       You cannot write nested expressions such as:

          ${my_var/hello_world ${my_var/current_user}}

       This will NOT work. At least, not yet.

So I guess that means you can't :-P

POST vs.GET

I was trying to use method=POST in my form since I have a very long 
parameter to pass. But I realized that POST does not work with petal. 
Has anybody had the same problem? Is there a solution in case I have to 
use POST?

Thanks,
jw

Re: POST vs.GET

I have tried both POST and post. Neither works.

Try it with double-quotes:

  <form method="post" ... >

Re: POST vs.GET

These are the things I have tried:
1. <form method="get" action="some_petal_page.pt">: works fine;
2. <form method="post" action="some_cgi_script.pl">: works fine;
3. <form method="post" action="some_petal_page.pt">: does not work. It 
looks like my browser does not recognize "some_petal_page.pt". It acts 
like I am downloading a file.
Just to clarify, I have a "request-broker" perl cgi that retrieves all 
the parameters passed from a petal page, and processes the resulting 
petal page.

Re: POST vs.GET

Hi Jing,

Is this script running under mod_perl? If so, are trying to read in the 
POSTed data twice? POST data read can only be read once under mod_perl.

Re: POST vs.GET

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply. I think I know what the problem is. It is not 
petal but the apache mod_rewrite that does not handle the post request 
correctly. I will see if I can find a solution to that.

Regards,
Jing
