Description:
------------
If a the <name>-tag of an <input> contains a dot, if is transferred to
an underscore. I googled all around, but can't find anything.
I wonder because:
$test = array( 'title_image.img'=>'bla');
works. So why it is converted?
Is it a bug or a feature :-)?
Test script:
---------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>
<?php
echo $_FILES['title_image.img']['name'];
var_dump( $_FILES);
?>
</pre>
<form name="form" method="post" action=""
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="title_image.img" />
<input type="submit" name="save" value="Speichern" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
["title_image.img"]=>
array(5) {
["name"]=>
string(0) ""
["type"]=>
string(0) ""
["tmp_name"]=>
string(0) ""
["error"]=>
int(4)
["size"]=>
int(0)
}
}
Actual result:
--------------
Notice: Undefined index: title_image.img in
/media/DATA/home/mschmitz/public_html/customer/uni/fm/tischlerei/test.php
on line 9
array(1) {
["title_image_img"]=>
array(5) {
["name"]=>
string(0) ""
["type"]=>
string(0) ""
["tmp_name"]=>
string(0) ""
["error"]=>
int(4)
["size"]=>
int(0)
}
}
