Description: ------------ hi, this is probably an old behavior to make php backward compatible when register_global was enabled parse_str("hey all=1",$r); ---> array('hey_all' => '1'); parse_str is now widely used in xmlhttprequest communication and may cause a lot of issues and waste of time when debugging because we are not able to know how exactly what type of character sanitizing is made to root keys yep, only root keys are sanitized because parse_str("aaa[hey all]=1",$r); ---> array('aaa' => array('hey all', '1')); works like expected so my request is not to change the default behavior of this function (and how $_GET $_POST etc are populated) but add another parameter to this function for who wants root keys parsed without sanitizing void parse_str ( string $str [, array &$arr ] [, bool $bwcompatible = true]) thank you -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55102&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=mysqlcfg Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55102&r=trysnapshot54
