hmm i dont know what kind of problems i was having earlier, but now coffee seems to have helped!!

i think part of this might have to do with getting parameter in these two ways, which just made sense when edoc showed me the line:
#normal $r from my POV
sub handler {
my $r=Apache::request();
%args=$r->args;
my $sitename=$args{sitename};
}

[download]
or 
#$apr
sub handler {
my $r=Apache::request();
my $apr = Apache::Request->new( $r ,
                               POST_MAX => 10 * 1024 * 1024, # in byte
+s, so 10M
                               DISABLE_UPLOADS => 0);



my $sitename = $apr->param('sitename');
}

it seems obvious that $apr loads parameters in differently ? or am i mistaken/used to Apache::request as opposed to Apache::Request? here is the working code


package PP::Uploads;

use Apache::Constants qw(OK);
use Apache::Request;
use Apache::Util qw(escape_html);

use strict;

sub handler {

  # Standard stuff, with added options...
  my $r = Apache::Request->new(shift,
                               POST_MAX => 10 * 1024 * 1024, # in byte
+s, so 10M
                               DISABLE_UPLOADS => 0);

  my $status = $r->parse();

  my $sitename = $r->param('sitename');

  # Return an error if we have problems.
  return $status unless $status == OK;

  $r->send_http_header('text/html');

  $r->print("<html><body>\n");
  $r->print("<h1>Upload files</h1>");

  # Iterate through each uploaded file.
  foreach my $upload ($r->upload) {
    my $filename    = $upload->filename;
    my $filehandle  = $upload->fh;
    my $size        = $upload->size;

    $r->print("You sent me a file named $filename, $size bytes<br>");
    $r->print("The first line of the file is: <br>");

my $dir="/tmp/$sitename/";

 my $line;
while (   <$filehandle>)
  {
$line.=$_;
}

mkdir $dir;
my $image=$dir.$filename;
open FH ,">$image" or die $!;
print FH $line;
close FH;

#    $r->print(escape_html($line), "<br>");
  }
  $r->print("Done......<br>");

  # Output a simple form.
  $r->print(<<EOF);
  <form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="files" action="/PP/upload"
+ method="POST">
<input type=hidden name=sitename value=$sitename>
    File 1 <input type="file" name="file1"><br>
    File 2 <input type="file" name="file2"><br>
    File 3 <input type="file" name="file3"><br><br>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload these files">
  </form>
 </body></html>
EOF

  return OK;
};
1;
