#41110 [NEW]: Filter extension doesn't allow GET/POST array parameters

From: mauroi at digbang dot com Operating system: Linux & Windows PHP version: 5.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Filter related Bug description: Filter extension doesn't allow GET/POST array parameters Description: ------------ I'm trying to use an old way of sending arrays between pages in PHP with the new filter extension. With normal superglobals if you append '[]' after a parameter's name, you get an array with one element for each aparence. Eg, http://localhost/foo.php?a[]=1&a[]=2 results in an array with two positions in $_GET['a']. I'm not being able to emulate this behavior with the filter extension. Reproduce code: --------------- <pre> <? var_dump($_GET['a']); var_dump(filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'a', FILTER_DEFAULT)) ?> </pre> Expected result: ---------------- array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(1) "2" } array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(1) "2" } Actual result: -------------- array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(1) "2" } bool(false) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41110&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41110&r=mysqlcfg
