This question is related to How to get into $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}?. I thought I knew how to handle this, but I am having trouble. When a person goes through and selects the jobs that they wish to apply for, that information will get appended to the end of the url as they step through each screen to apply for a job. The url will look like this: foo.com/cgi-bin/job.pl?STXXXX+STXXXX+STVVV+STAAAA They may select 1 job or they may select 25 jobs. When they get to the last page of the application process, I would like to able to query the job database for each of this jobs and display some information about each one: for instance You are applying for ST1256 - Perl Programmer in Juneau, Alaska, ST3009 and JavaScript Programmer in London, England, etc. Also in the e-mail that gets sent back to us, I want to have links to the text version of the specific job on our intranet, so the recruiters can just click and go right to each job opening that this person is interested in. So how do I get each job id seperated so that I can do this... I have these scripts all done where people can just select one job and apply and where it queries the database and returns the above info, but having a hard time getting this to work with more than one. Thank you all for your help....
