Need Help??

in thread Upload Security (strip ../, etc.)

Actually, this in one of the few hand-rolled CGI parameter parsers I've seen which doesn't break multi-select fields (well, I suppose it might do if the values contained '|' characters - but it's still better than most!)

Your other points are spot on tho.

CGI::param gets it right. In a scalar context, you get back the first one seen. In a list context, you get them all. No confusion for either kind of user.
