#19481 [Com]: DB doesn't allow for '@' within password (p@ssword)

ID: 19481 Comment by: alan@akbkhome.com Reported By: rob@euglug.org Status: Feedback Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: 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) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
