ID: 7987 User Update by: andbe611@student.liu.se Old-Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: HTTP related Description: POST/GET: string with NULL values not parsed correctly Here is a short script that shows the problem.

The $works is saved with the null value, but the $truncated in the get request gets truncated by php.
