If you submit a POST/GET/parse_str() to a webpage, where a variable has an URLencoded string in it, which contains %00. It will end up being mangled totally. Just check the reproduce-code, it'll be more clear then my explanation here. Reproduce code: --------------- $comp_me = gzcompress('Compress me', 9); parse_str( 'var='. urlencode( $comp_me ) ); var_dump( urlencode($var) ); var_dump( urlencode( $comp_me ) ); Expected result: ---------------- I would expect to see 2 urlencoded strings, EXACTLY the same. Actual result: -------------- string(42) "x%DAs%CE%CF-%28J-.V%C8M%05%5C0%19%BD%04%3F" string(41) "x%DAs%CE%CF-%28J-.V%C8M%05%00%19%BD%04%3F" ---------------------------------------^^^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36183&edit=1
