Your HTML, while it has some issues, should get the job done. However, you should get
in the
habit of quoting your attribute values:
<input type="radio" name=symbolString value="CM|T">
Should be:
<input type="radio" name="symbolString" value="CM|T">
Sooner or later, failure to quote those values will bite you if you get a value with
angle
brackets (<>), white space, or other things that will make your life unhappy.
Aside from that, your form looks fine. I suspect that the problem lies in your Perl
code. To get
the value for 'symbolString', do this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
my $_radio = param( 'symbolString' ) || '';
my ( $radio ) = ( $_radio =~ /^(EDS\|N|CM\|T)$/ );
I was going to give a long explanation about all of that, but it dawned on me that you
might
understand it and just have a little problem with your code. Please post your code
and we can
help you figure out what is wrong. If you'd like to know more about any of that, let
us know.
