Hi list, I am working on a catalyst project and would have been attempting to create a user page (form) that allows someone to create an sql query to hammer a local DB (all secure-ish - maybe). I have used a javascript function to return the post options and used the catalyst method $c->request->parameters() to get at the form information.
The information is contained within a hash (ref to a hash) and the values are either scalar or arrays. What I would like to know is if there is a way of testing the type of a variable - as with python: >>> foo = ["a", "b", "c"] >>> type(foo) <type 'list'> or if there is a way to convert the scalars into arrays - allowing me to skip the check. I have tried to use a JSON hash in the javascript but this has not worked - I also *assume* that I would be presented with the same problem - parsing that hash of mixed variables. I am sorry if this is a stupid question. Thanks
