Bug #10502: parsing for HTTP_POST_VARS drops duplicates

From: mk@adio.com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: parsing for HTTP_POST_VARS drops duplicates Parsing of a POST drops duplicate variables unless those variables have "[]". It's a few lines in Perl to get it, but I need to stay inside PHP.... is there anywhere that the equivalent of thePerl $form field below: if ( $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "POST" ) { read(STDIN,$form, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}); is available in a PHP session... I need the whole unparsed line, so that I can manage transforming duplicates into an array. I have a situation where a check-box coded by someone else I have no control over is sending multiple values with the same field name. Code for parsing into HTTP_POST_VARS discards all but the last name value pair in the Parse stage because, unfortunately the field is not ending in "[]" in the FORM. ... thoughts. mk@adio.com -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10502&edit=1
