ID: 33759 User updated by: kyle dot grieser-c at iovation dot com Reported By: kyle dot grieser-c at iovation dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.3.11 New Comment: If this is indeed misconfiguration, some information on how/why it is misconfigured sure would be nice. Your response, as is, is frustrating and USELESS! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-19 00:53:16] sniper@php.net It's just misconfiguration. Please don't report this as bug anymore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-19 00:07:13] kyle dot grieser-c at iovation dot com Description: ------------ A form of type POST that contains a single form element will corrupt the incoming value. What I get is this: formvalue="valueformvalue=value" What I expect is this: formvalue="value" Yuck! I found a very old bug report consistent with this from 2002 ( http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18648 ) that suggested adding a hidden form element like this: <input type=hidden name=bugfix> This does indeed fix the problem, but seems like this bug has returned in a recent version of PHP. Is there a fix? I could not find any other bugs matching this report, and believe it was reintroduced with 4.3.11. Reproduce code: --------------- <html> <body> <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { $formvalue = trim($_POST['formvalue']); print "Recieved from Post: '". $formvalue."'"; } ?> <form action="#" method="post"> <p> FORM VALUE:<br><br><input type="text" name="formvalue" value="" size="50" maxlength="50"></td> <input type= submit value=submit> </p> </form> </body> </html> Expected result: ---------------- I expect this: formvalue=value Actual result: -------------- I get this: formvalue=valueformvalue=value ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33759&edit=1
