SYNOPSIS

Bool incomingExists( String key, DataSource ds )

ARGUMENTS

key The key to check

ds The source for user-supplied data

DESCRIPTION

Returns true if the key exists in the data source, and false otherwise.

  • // GET /example.cgi?a=1;b=3;b=5;z=;z;z val = incomingExists("a",DataGet); // val = true val = incomingExists("b",DataGet); // val = true val = incomingExists("c",DataGet); // val = false val = incomingExists("z",DataGet); // val = true

This is useful for avoiding Exceptions when using WebCommon.incomingData (3kaya) or WebCommon.incomingValue (3kaya) , or for checking if a checkbox has been selected.
