#37040 [NEW]: autoconversion of variabel names should be turned off
From: indeyets at gmail dot com
Operating system: FreeBSD 5.4
PHP version: 5.1.2
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: autoconversion of variabel names should be turned off
Description:
------------
Currently, PHP does autoconversion of 'dots' in external variable names to
'underscores'. It is documented here: http://ru.php.net/variables.external
It does make sense when application has register_globals enabled and
prevents losing of incorrectly named variables.
Though, it doesn't make sense when register_globals setting is disabled.
In this mode, all external variables are placed inside of associative
array, and 'dot' is just as legal for the key-name as 'underscore' is
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo '<a
href="'.$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"].'?var.name=value">test</a><hr>';
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($_GET);
echo '</pre>';
?>
Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
["var_name"]=>
string(5) "value"
}
Actual result:
--------------
array(1) {
["var.name"]=>
string(5) "value"
}
