#20202 [Opn->Fbk]: Form elements id Attrbute Ignored

ID: 20202 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: raffaele@vpresence.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: WinXP SP1 PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: This is up to the browser to do.

It just consider the name attribute So while a element like <input type="text" name="first_name" /> will create a $_post["first_name"] variable if submitted, for exemple, the similar tag <input type="text" id="first_name" /> will not create any variable. The problem is that in the XHTML 1.0 W3C specs the "name" attribute is depreached in favor of "id". This could cause problems in the near future where XHTML whill be more widespread. It would be appreciated if the "id" attribute handling is added to future PHP releases.
