Go r.FormValue is empty

Question

I got an html form where I put values and insert them into the database. but when I insert them the values appear in the db like "". This is how I insert the values: ``` title, author, description := r.Form("title"), r.FormValue("author"), r.FormValue("description") fmt.Println(title, author, description) rows, err := db.Query("INSERT INTO apps (title, author, description) VALUES ($1, $2, $3)", title, author, description) PanicIf(err) defer rows.Close() http.Redirect(w, r, "/myapps", http.StatusFound) db.Close() ``` Html : ```

Accepted Answer

You have to call r.ParseForm() first before you could use `r.Form` / `r.PostForm`.

From: http://golang.org/src/pkg/net/http/request.go#L168

```
// Form contains the parsed form data, including both the URL
// field's query parameters and the POST or PUT form data.
// This field is only available after ParseForm is called.
// The HTTP client ignores Form and uses Body instead.
Form url.Values

// PostForm contains the parsed form data from POST or PUT
// body parameters.
// This field is only available after ParseForm is called.
// The HTTP client ignores PostForm and uses Body instead.
PostForm url.Values
```
