PHP 4.0 Bug #7128 Updated: Decoding of form variables

ID: 7128 Updated by: rasmus Reported By: users@freesurf.ch Status: Closed Bug Type: PWS related Assigned To: Comments: 1. If you did any database work the reason should be obvious. 2. Either use stripslashes() or turn off gpc_magicquotes in your php.ini file. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-11 02:00:13] brad@php.net This isn't a bug. Use stripslashes() to remove the slashes from the output --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-11 01:50:42] users@freesurf.ch When receving values from a form text field such as <INPUT name="hugo" type="text"> any entered ['] is preceedet with an [] in the variable $hugo. Thus: [it's a shame] becomes "it's a shame". 1. I don't see any reason for it. 2. I tried to solve the problem using preg_replace: preg_replace('~/'~',''',$hugo); ...without any effect. preg_replace('~134'~','/',$hugo); indeed works fine! An error?! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7128
