Re: [Mediawiki-l] $wgRequest->getVal('_naw_title')

Does getArray('fieldname') work for you? I'm having problems getting the list of values of a group of checkboxes using . $wgRequest->getArray('fieldname'), it only returns the last element.

For instance, I have a search form with with a group of checkboxes e.g. <input type="checkbox" value="Category1" name="categories" /> <input type="checkbox" value="Category2" name="categories" />

When the form is submitted via GET, the resulting URL has: categories=Category1&categories=Category2

in my extension, I use

$category_list = array(); $category_list = $wgRequest->getArray('categories'); $categoryString = join(",", $category_list);

echo $categoryString; // Prints out 'Category2'

Any obvious error in my approach?

Thanks,

-Carlos

Hi,

I've a litte question:

$wgRequest->getVal('_naw_title') result nothing, when post-name="_naw_title[]".

What's going wrong

WebRequest::getVal() returns a string or null. This protects against type errors from malicious submissions passing unexpected arrays.

If you're dealing explicitly with an array parameter, use $wgRequest->getArray() to enforce an array-or-null return.
