Get value from a form
<html> <head><title>Test Form</title></head> <body> I like Ruby because: <form target="cgibin/survey.rb"> <input type="checkbox" name="reason" value="flexible" /> It's flexible<br /> <input type="checkbox" name="reason" value="transparent" /> It's transparent<br /> <input type="checkbox" name="reason" value="perlish" /> It's like Perl<br /> <input type="checkbox" name="reason" value="fun" /> It's fun <p> Your name: <input type="text" name="name"> </p> <input type="submit"/> </form> </body> </html> # survey.rb require 'cgi' cgi = CGI.new cgi['name'] cgi['reason']
