PHP Bug Type: Strings related ???

From: Guido.Laubner@morse.com Operating system: Solaris 8 / Intel PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: Backslash parameter passing in Forms Here's instructions on how to reproduce : 1. Create a php-file with this content : <HTML> <BODY> <?php print( $p ); ?> </BODY> </HTML> and call it whatever you want (eg. blah.php) 2. Next call the URL eg. http://server/blah.php?p=/ 2a. Same with http://server/blah.php?p=%5c The apache access_log shows the very same url one typed into netscape or explorer, so this looks fine to me. 3. Look at the output page. It'll show 2 (in words : two) backslashes Why is this ? How do i pass just one backslash ? Thanks a lot Cheers Guido Sorry, the web page reported a bug in /local/Web/sites/phpweb/bugs.php on line 419 and said : "Sorry, mail not sent!" and asked me to send this mail manually. +=================================================================+ | Guido Laubner Phone : +49 6102 7786 618 | | Morse Computers Fax : +49 6102 7786 666 | | Martin-Behaim-Strasse 19-21 Email : Guido.Laubner@morse.com | | 63263 Neu-Isenburg WEB : http://www.morse.com | +=================================================================+
