Bug #14466 Updated: No _POST/_GET vars with filename matching

ID: 14466 Updated by: sander Reported By: hostmaster@sparklit.com Old Status: Open Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: Red Hat Linux 7.0 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: Confirmed on Windows 2000/Apache 1.3.22 with both 4.1.0 and a recent (10-dec) 4.2.0-dev build... You need mod_negotiation enabled in Apache to use the multiview option, which performs this extension-guessing (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html). Should we mark this bug as critical? IMO, we should, we can't encourage users to use $_GET and $_POST if they're useless via multiviews. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-12 14:41:05] hostmaster@sparklit.com The Post and Get arrays do not get populated when the filename in the URL does not have the extension. (Apache allows us to access files without their extension) If we access a file as: http://server.com/file.php?foo=bar Then foo=bar will be set in _GET. however, if we access the same file as: http://server.com/file?foo=bar Then _GET will be an empty array. Same is true for _POST. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14466&edit=1
