Re: reading post data.

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/04/23]

works in RC4 + libapreq 2.04

use Apache::Request()
sub handler
{
	my 		$r		=	shift;
	my 		$apr 	= Apache::Request->new( $r , DISABLE_UPLOADS=>0, 
POST_MAX=>100000 );
			$stringvalue 	=  $apr->param($stringname);
}

RC5 is slightly different from the namespace stuff, and you need to run 
one of the svn branches of libapreq -- either trunk or multi-env -- its 
under active development right now

personally, i think libapreq is the  best way to read GET/POST data 
under MP2
