Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-18 09:45:05] wez@php.net The issue was with the --enable-mbstr-enc-trans configure option; remove it from your configure line and rebuild and the problem goes away. This has been fixed in CVS.

This says it's apache 2 related, I'm running 1.3.26. Was this, in fact, fixed then? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-17 21:06:22] yohgaki@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-17 19:12:22] khalil@paksys.com After submitting a form, HTTP_POST_VARS trims 4 characters from left side of each field in a form which has name as an array.
