Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-11 05:26:59] brett@brettodonnell.com Variables are having the first 4 characters chopped off when submitted through a form... Inputs like this: <input type=text name=left[size]> I have a form that looks like this (cut down): ---------------------- <form> $left["size"]: <input type=text name=left[size]> array variable<br> $size: <input type=text name=size> normal variable<br> <input type=submit> </form> <br> <br>$left["size"]: <?php print $left["size"]; ?> <br>$size: <?php print $size; ?> ---------------------- The variable $size works as expected. The variable $left["size"] has the first 4 characters stripped if the variable is 4 or more characters. I enter these: 123 - works as intended 1234 - strips the first 4 characters leaving the variable empty 1234567890 - will strip the first 4 characters leaving the variable as "567890" red - works as intended blue - strips the first 4 characters leaving the variable empty orange - will strip the first 4 characters leaving the variable as "ge" The same problems do NOT occur on Windows XP. I am changed back to PHP 4.2.2 and it was fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20355&edit=1
