Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Links: Development, Plugins and Globals: Sending arrays to plugin function

Hi there,

I am having a problem sending arrays to a plugin via a form post.

Here is the layout of the form:

Code:

<form action="page.cgi" method="post"> 
<select  name="niche_id"> 
    <option value="">Select Niche...</option> 
    <option value="6">Industrial</option> 
    <option value="5">Business</option> 
    <option value="9">     Clothing</option> 
    <option value="10">Bathroom</option> 
    <option value="12">Home</option> 
    <option value="13">     Kitchen</option> 
 </select> 
<table border="1"> 
<tr> 
    <th>Widget</th><th>Region</th><th>Weight</th><th>Function</th> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
    <td style="padding: 5px;">Mailing List</td> 
    <td style="padding: 5px;">rightsidebartop</td> 
    <td style="padding: 5px;"> 
        <input type="hidden" value="7" name="nwid"/> 
        <input type="text" value="" name="weight" style="width: 25px;"/> 
    </td> 
    <td style="padding: 5px;"> 
         <input type="checkbox" value="7" name="delete"/> Delete 
    </td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
    <td style="padding: 5px;">Social Bookmarking</td> 
    <td style="padding: 5px;">rightsidebartop</td> 
    <td style="padding: 5px;"> 
        <input type="hidden" value="8" name="nwid"/> 
        <input type="text" value="" name="weight" style="width: 25px;"/> 
    </td> 
    <td style="padding: 5px;"> 
        <input type="checkbox" value="8" name="delete"/> Delete 
    </td> 
</tr> 
<tr><td/><td/><td/><td><input type="submit" value="Apply" name="applyfunction"/></td></tr> 
</table> 
</form>

Now, right above the form, I call the plugin function. I have added the code which I use to retrieve the data below:

Code:

my $args = shift || $IN->get_hash; 

my @nwid = $args->{'nwid'}; 

foreach my $id(@nwid){ 

    print Dumper($id); 

}

Here is a dump of $args:

Code:

$VAR1 = { 
          'applyfunction' => 'Apply', 
          'niche_id' => '13', 
          'nwid' => [ 
                      '8', 
                      '7' 
                    ], 
          'weight' => [ 
                        '', 
                        '' 
                      ], 
        };

My problem now, is that inside the foreach loop within the plugin, $id is not returning 7 or 8. instead, it is returning :

Code:
$VAR1 = [ 
          '8', 
          '7' 
        ];

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Frown

Thanks
