I've been wondering for some time now: Why its it that "." in form item names is _always_ converted to a "_" character? It would be sufficient to do so just in the global variables (for register_globals = On), but why too for $HTTP_POST_VARS["t_table.4322.some_field"] ? Its a hell to convert that back... I will switch to using arrays for form items now ($HTTP_POST_VARS["tables"]["t_table"][4322]["some_field"]), so its not important for me anymore, but according to the RFC a "." _is_ allowed in the form item's name! Well if you don't mind, please E-Mail me. Thanks :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16966&edit=1
