#19481 [Ana->Bgs]: DB doesn't allow for '@' within password (p@ssword)

ID: 19481 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: rob@euglug.org -Status: Analyzed +Status: Bogus Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. If your password contains non-alphanumeric characters do a urlencode() on the value before passing it if you are using the "mysql://foo:bar+@localhost/foo" format to pass data to DB::connect(); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-02 19:02:00] alan@akbkhome.com you can rawurlencode the @ sign %40 username = xxx password = yy@yy dns = mysql://xxx:yy%40yy@localhost/mydb If the dsn is to follow 'http url standards' (eg. the rfc), then there is no need to change the code.. (just need to document it somewhere) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-02 04:37:04] mj@php.net Please provide us your patch and we'll see. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-18 15:04:58] rob@euglug.org If you have an '@' in your password, DB.php parses that as the token that separates the user:pass@host of the DSN. It should preferrably allow passwords with '@'. I can send a patch, but what is the preferred way of handling something like this? Asking the user to put the pass in quotes? Or somehow determining what is the separator token and what is the password? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19481&edit=1
