#42647 [NEW]: unexpected results from parse_str()

From: dev at glossword dot info Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.2.4 PHP Bug Type: URL related Bug description: unexpected results from parse_str() Description: ------------ Hi. Before to make this post, I have read all previous bugs related to parse_str() and user comments in documentation for parse_str() function. Perhaps, this is not a bug but "consistent behavior"... Anyway, it didn't work as expected and it makes a trouble for me. Reproduce code: --------------- $str1 = '&arg1=123&arg2="Company&Sons" '90'; $str2 = '&arg1=123&arg2="Company&Sons" \'90'; parse_str($str1, $array1); parse_str( html_entity_decode($str1), $array2 ); parse_str($str2, $array3); parse_str( html_entity_decode($str2), $array4 ); print_r( $array1 ); print_r( $array2 ); print_r( $array3 ); print_r( $array4 ); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [arg1] => 123 [arg2] => "Company&Sons" '90 ) Array ( [arg1] => 123 [arg2] => "Company&Sons" '90 ) ... Actual result: -------------- Array ( [arg1] => 123 [arg2] => [quot;Company] => [amp;Sons] => [quot;_] => [#039;90] => ) Array ( [arg1] => 123 [arg2] => "Company [Sons"_] => [#039;90] => ) Array ( [arg1] => 123 [arg2] => "Company [Sons"_'90] => ) Array ( [arg1] => 123 [arg2] => "Company [Sons"_'90] => ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42647&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42647&r=mysqlcfg
