From: sanek469 at hotmail dot com Operating system: Win XP PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: $_GET/$_POST variables
Description: ------------ When the name assigned to a form field contains such characters as '.' or space(' '), the $_GET/$_POST[$name] will not catch the contents of the field using that same name, instead you have to substite '.' or ' ' with '_' in the $_GET/$_POST function. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $field = "text.field"; if(isset($_GET[$field])) { echo $_GET[$field]; } ?> <form method="get"> <label> <input type="text" name="text.field" id="text field" value="WORKS"/> </label> <p> <label> <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" /> </label> </p> </form> Expected result: ---------------- WORKS Actual result: -------------- nothing shows up, however changing $field = "text.field" to $field = "text_field" will display correct results. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43266&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43266&r=mysqlcfg
