[mv] Re: MV 4.04a - checking form for numeric value

[Jim Toro <jimtoro@hoflink.com>]

I have been trying to setup a check_forms type routine using [set]
and mv_check and the results are coming up all wrong.  I have used
mv_check before for simple variable existance checking but not for
a explicit and somewhere I must be overlooking something.

My set is as follows:


[set check_form]
	[if explicit]
        [condition]
         $maxpricez = '[value booking_maxprice]';
          return 1 if $maxpricez =~ /[0123456789\.]?/;
         return 0;
        [/condition]
            mv_nextpage=cards
	[else]
            form_errors=Bad Max Price entered
            mv_nextpage=@@MV_PAGE@@
	[/else]
	[/if]

[/set]


and later in the [form] I collect the input with :

<INPUT NAME=booking_maxprice    SIZE=15 VALUE="[value booking_maxprice]">


I am just trying to make sure that ONLY numbers OR  periods are in the
field. But no matter how I change the above it will not produce
different results if I put letters or numbers. I fiddled with the perl
in all sorts of ways but no go.

I am guessing my perl is off or something else is amiss.

Anyone have a simple numeric/period type  checker for <input> in a form ??
Something more robust is appreciated.

Thanks !!
