#19476 [NEW]: Array via form chopped when Multi-byte support on.

From: thomas@deliduka.com Operating system: Red Hat Linux 6 and 7.x PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: mbstring related Bug description: Array via form chopped when Multi-byte support on. Since I have disabled mb support on my servers to get my scripts to work I cannot give a concrete example online but I can give something here. My configure string is: ./configure --quiet --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache-1.3.26/ bin/apxs --with-ftp --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with- pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --enable-track-vars --enable- calendar --disable-debug --with-curl=/usr/local/curl -- enable-mbstring --enable-mbstr-enc-trans --with-mcrypt -- with-gd --with-png-dir --with-zlib-dir --with-jpeg-dir a second server which also had this problem had a configure string of: ./configure --quiet --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache-1.3.26/ bin/apxs --with-ftp --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable- track-vars --enable-calendar --disable-debug --with-curl=/ usr/local/curl --enable-mbstring --enable-mbstr-enc-trans Create a form in which some of the form values consist of: <input type="text" name="myvar[myvar1]"> <input type="text" name="myvar[myvar2]"> <input type="text" name="myvar[myvar3]"> Then submit the form somewhere and echo back $myvar['myvar1'], etc or even do a print_r(). You'll find (hopefully as i did) that the first four characters of each input are chopped off. In my case the form field names were like this: submitui[address1] submitui[address2] submitui[city] submitui[state] I've seen other forms do this successfully (not with the mb support compiled in) so I incorporated it into my shopping cart program. After adding the two parameters " --enable- mbstring --enable-mbstr-enc-trans" submissions using this form had the first four characters chopped off. Since this is so weird I don't know if it would have been caught before. I would love to see a solution to this since I need MB support for a PHP Domain Registrar program we're using. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19476&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19476&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19476&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19476&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19476&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19476&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19476&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19476&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19476&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19476&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19476&r=globals
