ID: 30999 User updated by: kkoehler at comcast dot net Reported By: kkoehler at comcast dot net Status: Open Bug Type: *URL Functions Operating System: Linux mis 2.4.21-4.EL #1-Red Hat PHP Version: 5.0.2 New Comment: We rolled back to 4.3.8 and it is doing it there also. But I'm running 4.3.8 locally on Windows XP and it is not happening. So it might be something with the OS??? This is a major issue so any help would be appreciated. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-06 19:39:43] kkoehler at comcast dot net Here is test code using smarty. You'll probably have to change the configs a bit: Template: <html> <body> <form name="articulate" method=POST action="testa.php"> <a href="javascript:document.articulate.submit()" class="listlink2"><img src="/images/save.gif" border="0"></a> <table> <td class="warning" align="left"> <textarea name="testdesc" cols="94" rows="17" >{$testdesc}</textarea> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </table> </center> </form> </body> </html> PHP code: <?php ob_start(); define('SMARTY_DIR', 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\Smarty-2.6.6/libs/'); require(SMARTY_DIR . 'Smarty.class.php'); function getSmarty() { $smarty = new Smarty; $smarty->template_dir = 'templates/'; $smarty->compile_dir = 'templates_c/'; $smarty->config_dir = 'configs/'; $smarty->cache_dir = 'cache/'; return $smarty; } session_start(); $smarty = getSmarty(); print_r($_POST); $test = $_POST['testdesc']; $smarty->assign('testdesc', $test); $smarty->display('testa.tpl'); ob_end_flush(); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-06 18:57:05] kkoehler at comcast dot net Apache 2.0.46 cryus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.15-3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-06 18:43:47] jorton@php.net Which SAPI interface, and what Apache configuration are you using? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-06 18:41:25] tony2001@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If possible, make the script source available online and provide an URL to it here. Try avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-06 18:35:18] kkoehler at comcast dot net More testing - when I run this script on 5.0.2 <html> <form method="post" action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> <textarea name="ta"></textarea> <input type="submit" value="try this"/> </form> <pre><?php print_r( $_POST ); ?></pre> </html> If I enter "Hello", this displays: Array ( [ta] => Hellota=Hello ) On 4.3.8 it displays: Array ( [ta] => Hello ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
