I can't see how may I have restricted the new code-path according to the key so I simply tested for values which are array themselves instead of doing any string lookup/substitution when keys matches "[]" or anything like that. I got some problem with the test-suite (can't export PHP_CURL_HTTP_REMOTE_SERVER) anyway I still had 40 skipped, 2 failures and 33 pass *after* the patch. If that patch is ok I may add a patch for the test-suite if needed. NB: please don't bite me, it's my first patch for PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-22 16:01:30] bart at tremby dot net That works when posting to PHP because of the way PHP handles the names but what it's actually posting is name "name[0]", value "val1" name "name[1]", value "val2" Any system but PHP as far as I know (I'm posting to a Java-based system and I don't have control over it) keeps them as they are -- two separate entities called "name[0]" and "name[1]". There's nothing in the HTTP specification which says anything about array indices -- as far as I can tell that's purely PHP's invention. PHP which decides they're the same thing and knocks off the brackets. The system I'm posting to expects them to be posted with the same name. (The spec says this is fine -- see <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_8.html#SEC8.1.2.3>). The CLI example I gave in the OP does this; the PHP example you just gave does not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-22 15:53:32] felipe@php.net You can use: array("name[0]" => "val1", "name[1]" => "val2") ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-22 15:07:56] bart at tremby dot net Where I said 'PHP then parses this into an array but only "val2" is in it.' I meant "Array", not "val2". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
