Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [1999-10-01 08:09:29] pfroment@gemme.net With php 3.x and php4 when you parse POST messgae, you don't test the "complete boundary" ( i.e --boundary) for each kind off DataType But some "CGI client" like perl 5.0.x check complete boundary for validate his send (ie they test if --$boundary is not present in DATA sending). In the case of perl, I report the problem because the default boundary is "000" (Zero..Zero). So when I send MultiPart and Field with alue equal to "X000" (like Y2K --> 2000) php don't receive all data and hang up. I check PHP3 (mime.c) and PHP4 beta 2 (rfc1867.c) the problem is the same. Could you make some think to correct this feature, Like NEWBOUNDARY. Best Regards.
