ID: 17351 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: jon@barlownet.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback -Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem +Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Linux (red hat 7.2) + Apache 2.0 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Please get Apache 2.0.36 and this snapshot of PHP: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz And let us know if this problem still exists. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-18 09:58:12] jon@barlownet.com Any script that took text in through a textarea form element was having the problem described. I downgraded to the latest 1.x of Apache and things are fine now. The scripts were nondescript, simply taking post data and putting it into a MySQL database. I checked the text before it was put into the database and it already bore the marks of being garbled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-18 03:51:04] derick@php.net Any news on this? And can you provide a short reproducing script if it does not work correctly? Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-22 00:55:21] jon@barlownet.com Forms that worked with earlier version of PHP are now garbling the text that gets posted through textarea form elements. The text must have a line return in order to be garbled (i.e., shorter entries don't get garbled). This may be a problem with PHP 4.2.1 and Apache 2.0, but I thought it might be helpful if you're trying to fully support Apache 2.0 eventually. I'm going to try downgrading Apache. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17351&edit=1
