Abstract
Handles input in the formats provided by HTML forms. This includes submissions in the multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded encodings. This functionality is typically needed in CGI scripts.
form_urldecode hash
Reads data in a line-by-line basis from standard input, performs URL-like decoding as defined in RFC 1945 and sends it decoded to standard output.
form_multipart_handle directory
Decodes standard input in multipart/form-data encoding to multiple files in a directory. The directory will be laid out as follows, for a directory named output:
For example, the first part will be named 00 (double-zero), output/raw/00 would be the unprocessed part, output/body/00 its content body and output/headers/00 the corresponding MIME headers. Each part is decoded using the mime_decode function.
form_handle hash [ tmpdir ]
Handles input if a HTML form, either from a POST or GET request. In both cases the query string will be stored in the hash table. When handling POST requests you may also want to provide a temporary directory tmpdir, otherwise /tmp will be always used. Data stored in hash can be accessed using the functions in the data/hash module.
