Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-25 09:58:00] mlambert@kodak.com Quoted text in Query String e.g "T", passed to form handler as %22T%22, is treated by the action script as "T" (5 characters) as if the output of echo \"T\"; this is different from rawurldecode("%22T%22"); Repeated SUBMITS (form below) show the problem increasing <HTML><BODY> <FORM ACTION="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" METHOD="get"> <TEXTAREA NAME="c" > <?php echo $c; ?></TEXTAREA><BR> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="SUBMIT"> </CENTER> </FORM></BODY></HTML> Results the same for Apache 3.14 and Xitami2.5b4 servers with both self-reference and external scripts --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
