Bug #14099 Updated: POST/GET - if there is a dot in the name it's changes to "_"

ID: 14099 Updated by: mfischer Reported By: galg@sphera.com Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: Linux, Red-Hat 6.2 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: That's intended behaviour. You can't have dots in variable names, the dot is already used for string concatenation. Bogus.
