You're should use field names which conform to the varialbe naming conventions. If you do, you won't run into these conversion problems. Here's what the manual says are valid: "Variable names follow the same rules as other labels in PHP. A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores... Note: For our purposes here, a letter is a-z, A-Z, and the ASCII characters from 127 through 255 (0x7f-0xff)." http://php.net/language.variables So, I guess to answer your question, it seems anything that's not in this list of valid characters will get turned into "_" But, let me state again: use valid names in the first place.
