Doc #69644 [NEW]: additional note for CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS

From: tjw at tjw dot org Operating system: ALL PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:additional note for CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS Description: ------------ If curl_setopt() is used to set CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS with an array, it will not work unless CURLOPT_POST has been set to true first. This works: $parameters = array("test" => "testing"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $parameters); This posts and empty form: $parameters = array("test" => "testing"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $parameters); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE); However, this works: $parameters = "test=testing"; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $parameters); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE); It would be very helpful if a note was added in the documentation for CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS that CURLOPT_POST must be set to true before passing an array or it will not be automatically converted to a query string. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69644&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69644&r=mysqlcfg
