#27578 [Opn->Bgs]: parse_str() quotes array keys when magic quotes are turned ON

ID: 27578 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: honza dot malik at ecn dot cz -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Strings related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The string you pass to parse_str() should be 'a[key]=something'. When you include " in they key name they are being treated as part of the name rather then quotes in the argument. You'll encounter the same behaviour is you pass foo.php?a["key"]=something and have magic_quotes_gpc enabled.
