#29721 [Bgs]: Dynamic variables wrong after a POST

ID: 29721 User updated by: me at autourdupc dot com Reported By: me at autourdupc dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 4.3.8 New Comment: I use var_dump($_POST); I think you do not understand my request. Error message displayed are good. The problem is that I put a value on the first field and after the POST all others fields are filled with this same value. Normally, thez should be empty or on error. I think there is a bug : If you put "a" on the first field, all the post displayed by the var_dump are good but the values displayed by the dynamic construction of the variables are wrong. I don't understand why the result is correct is I use a static name for my variables and the result is different if I use a dynamic name. Please try again my example and see ! May be it is not a bug concerning the POST but a bug concerning dynamic variables.

Thank you for your interest in PHP. Use var_dump($_POST); and you'll see that variables are on their places.
