#21577 [Opn]: overriding of GET and POST variables

ID: 21577 User updated by: p3_bourbon@yahoo.com.au Reported By: p3_bourbon@yahoo.com.au Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Win2K / IIS PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: oops should say arent lost Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-11 02:42:30] p3_bourbon@yahoo.com.au The what some people consider a feature of having a same named form element only keeping the last item is data lost to me. The array method (foo.php?a[]=1&a[]=2&a[]=3 ) is not peferable to have the html templates cross compatible. There needs to be a mechanism to access these items. With keeping the status quo for the people that like this effect, why not create another global which is a hash of a hash so the duplicated named items are lost. Currently I have written a class to do this all but getting access to multipart variables seems to be harder. (especially when also doing file uploading) eg: foo.php?a=1&a=2&a=3&b=ten&c=eleven $_GET_HASH["a"] = array("1","2","3") $_GET_HASH["b"] = "ten" $_GET_HASH["c"] = "eleven" same effect if a form had been posted $_POST_HASH["a"] = array("1","2","3") $_POST_HASH["b"] = "ten" $_POST_HASH["c"] = "eleven" with $_FILES still accessable like normal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21577&edit=1
