Bug #52500 [NEW]: Using array_map, strip tags & nested $_POST array

From: Operating system: Ubuntu 10 PHP version: 5.2.14 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Using array_map, strip tags & nested $_POST array Description: ------------ When using a combination of array_map() & strip_tags to create a localized copy of the $_POST superglobal array I am experiencing problems if $_POST contains a nested array. It seems to discard any secondary iteration of said nested array. Test script: --------------- $_POST = array('level-1-1', $var1, 'level-1-2', $var2, 'level-1-3', $var3, 'level-1-4', array('level-2-1', $var1, 'level-2-2', $var2, 'level-2-3', $var3), 'level-1-5', $var5); $post = array_map(strip_tags, $_POST); echo '<pre>'; print_r($post); echo '</pre>'; /* I am left with this? level-1-1 => $var1 level-1-2 => $var2 level-1-3 => $var3 level-1-5 => $var5 */ Expected result: ---------------- I expected a complete copy of the nested superglobal $_POST. Actual result: -------------- Any nested array information is getting stripped out. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52500&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52500&r=mysqlcfg
