ID: 42647 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: dev at glossword dot info -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: URL related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php . Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-13 12:47:13] dev at glossword dot info arg1 and arg2 are stings in HTML-code taken from database. So, there is no condition when & could be %26 because & in HTML is &. ... a second later ... I almost forgot to urlencode a few values. :-) parse_url() works fine. Bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-13 07:54:27] jani@php.net And & is %26.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-13 07:52:42] jani@php.net My question is, how do you pass something like that via an URL? (space is usually + IIRC.. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-12 18:40:41] dev at glossword dot info Oh, as for $array3 and $array4 - it is correct. $array2 is partially correct. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-12 18:27:58] dev at glossword dot info 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42647&edit=1
