Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-03 06:22:04] kranzhoff@neptunelabs.de This one is related to the report of jeroen@smartnet.dhs.org (Bug id #11516). I talked to sniper about this problem a year ago, but I could not convince him that this behaviour of PHP to truncate post variables at the first occurrance of 0x00 exists and that it's incorrect (when used with multipart-formdata). Some days ago I used libCURL with C++ to post binary data with the "CURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS" option which lead to the same problem. Packet-sniffing revealed that the data is sent correctly, but PHP truncates the variable at the first occurance of 0x00. I had a discussion with Daniel Stenberg (Curl-developer) on that topic. He agreed that following RFC1867 it is allowed to send binary data in the way jeroen describes and he was pretty much suprised that PHP causes such problems. As the function curl_formadd() and "CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE" is not implemented in PHP I can not give you a PHP script which produces the error but let me know if you're interested in an example written in C++. I would appriciate very much if this bug could be removed in future versions of PHP. thanks in advance Hanno ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14321&edit=1
