I have and HTML page that passess a variable 'DESCRIPTION' (textara) to a perl procedure, which calls another procedures. But the second procedure only sees the first strings in the DESCRIPTION variable.


Eg.

HTML page passes the variable DESCRITION to a procedures called test. Test them does some processing and passed the DESCRIPTION variable to test1

HTML PAGE passess variable DESCRIPTION ('testing commensts') to a procedure in perl call test. Then test procedure passess the variable DESCRIPTION ('testing commensts') to test2. But test2 procedure only sees 'testing' not 'testing commensts' . Why and how do I solve this problem ?

Thanks

How about posting the code? Without seeing the code, It's next to impossible to say why that's happening without seeing it.

If you use the GET method and/or don't encode white space, it will stop on the last white space. It depends on how you're passing it. I may have misunderstood your problem though. Post the relevant portions of the code and someone will surely point out the problem for you.

Hi there,
Have you tried putting quotes around the variable name? ie. '$DESCRIPTION'

I think that might be the problem, you need quotes so that the characters after the space will not be truncated.

Cheers.
