[Zope] ZSQL questions

[McDonnell, Larry]

Hi,

I saw the light and it works, I misunderstood the form action call. After
re-reading it, I created another dtml doc and it works. Thanks for your
help. I haven't programmed a while so some of the old 3gl mindset is getting
in the way. ;^)

Try this:

<form action="form_handler" method="POST">

A very simple form_handler would be a dtml method like so:

----------------------------------------------
<dtml-var standard_html_header>

<dtml-call expr="zsql_method_name(REQUEST)">

<dtml-var standard_html_footer>
----------------------------------------------

When the form is posted (user clicks on submit) the form variables are
stored in the REQUEST object, which you can pass to a zsql method.  You
will need to make sure that the form variable names match that of your
zsql method arguments.
