Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php We can't change that for backwards compatibility Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-12 18:12:36] sanek469 at hotmail dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43266&edit=1
