CGIGETVALUE(3)        DragonFly Library Functions Manual        CGIGETVALUE(3)


NAME

     cgigetvalue - gets the value belonging to name


SYNOPSIS

     #include <cgi.h>

     const char *
     cgigetvalue(char *name);


DESCRIPTION

     The cgigetvalue() function is used to get the value of name passed to a
     cgi script.  It will automaticly determines the method used to submit the
     information from the browser.

     The first call will automaticly create a internal search table that is
     used to look up the values.  This will be used in following calls to
     cgigetvalue() until either cgiclose(3) or cginewquerystr(3) is called.
     After one of those functions is called, cgigetvalue() will either reread
     the QUERY_STRING environment variable if the method is GET, or parse the
     string passed to cginewquerystr(3) .


RETURN VALUES

     The cgigetvalue() function returns a pointer to the value associated with
     name if name exists; otherwise a null pointer is returned.


SEE ALSO
