I am trying to find a way to get values back from a dynamic list of checkboxes.
Within my template I have figured out how to create the list of checkboxes based on values from a hash reference. Like so:
<% FOREACH ID IN Accomps.keys %>
<div>
<label><input type="checkbox" name="<% Accomps.$
ID.NAME %>" value="<% Accomps.$
ID.ID %>"><% Accomps.$
ID.NAME %> <% Accomps.$ID.descrip %></label>
</div>
<% END %>
</div>
However, I can't figure out how dancer would go about getting back the values from the list of checkboxes as each checkbox input's name is different. I normally get values back in Dancer with:
like this:
my $input_hash = {
Tech => param('tech),
Type => param('type'),
}
But I cannot figure out how to do it in this case since the name of the input type is based on the values in the has ref. I have tried to create them based on the values that are fed into the template from the SQL query like this:
my $input_hash = {
Tech => param('tech),
Type => param('type'),
while ($sth->fetch) {
$ANAME => param($ANAME),
}
}
But this causes plackup start to crash with:
Error while loading /home/richard/Dancer2/MyApp/bin/app.psgi: syntax error at /home/richard/Dancer2/MyApp/bin/../lib/MyApp.pm line 549, near "while"
syntax error at /home/richard/Dancer2/MyApp/bin/../lib/MyApp.pm line 555, near "}"
So I am beginning to think that I am heading down the wrong path. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
