note 88328 added to language.variables.external

In addition to anonymous' list of characters that are replaced with an underscore. If you use arrays in your variable names, the second and subsequent levels are not replaced. For example: <input name="a field name" /> <input name="data[first data]" /> <input name="data[second data]" /> will produce $_POST as follows: array( "a_field_name" => ... data => array( "first data" => ... "second data" => ... ) ); I expect this is the same with other characters, not just space, but haven't tested this. Ideally if register globals is off, this replacement wouldn't occur as it isn't necessary - but we have to deal with it. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 121.221.209.25 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/88328 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88328/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88328/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88328/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88328/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88328/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88328/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88328 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/88328 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
