Re^2: Special Chars in CGI form variables

I've tried "print", "warn", you name it, but it still shows up nothing.

The filename is extremely simple "smith_rj.txt" and i was only using the form field, cause it was not to be used by users - so no security issues...

Just because a form variable is "hidden" doesn't mean someone can't edit it. This is a very common misconception regarding CGI programming.	[reply]

Did you print also after the "blah-" prefix addition? Did you try to print something like "($field)" (note parens)? As a last resort, try to print: `print join "\n", map { "0x" . unpack("h2", ord($_)) } split //, $field; print $/;` [download] which will give you the hex dump of the string. Flavio (perl -e "print(scalar(reverse('ti.xittelop@oivalf')))") Don't fool yourself.	[reply] [d/l]
