This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-01 06:23:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED] PHP 4.2.3 will cut the first 4 characters from content of form variables, if they are array's. This does not occur in PHP versions 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. The following 2 files demonstrate the bug. First the HTML form: ++++++++++++++++ Begin ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <html> <head> <title>Demonstrate error in form handling by PHP 4.2.3</title> </head> <body bgcolor=white> <form action="http://139.18.20.141/formError.php"; method="post"> <!-- try the following URLs for "action" to see correctly working older systems: [PHP 4.1.1] http://www.abelard.info/formError.php [PHP 4.1.2] http://www.stura.uni-leipzig.de/sp/formError.php --> <input type='checkbox' name='selectCourse[]' value='KURS_' checked="1">KURS_ <BR> <input type='checkbox' name='selectCourse[]' value='ABCD_KURS_0_1'>ABCD_KURS_0_1 <BR> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Ok" > </form> </body> </html> --------------- End ------------------------------ Second, the processing PHP file: +++++++++++++++++ Begin ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <html> <head><title>POST-Array test</title></head> <body> <h1>POST-Array test</h1> <p> <?php echo 'selectCourse[0]='.$_POST['selectCourse'][0]."<br>\n"; echo 'selectCourse[1]='.$_POST['selectCourse'][1]; ?> </p> </body> </html> ---------------- End -------------------------------- If submitted by only clicking the OK-button, this should output ... selectCourse[0]=KURS_ ... but in fact it does this on older versions of PHP only. PHP 4.2.3 does output instead: ... selectCourse[0]=_ ... loosing the first 4 characters from variable content. Note: This occurs _only_ on array-like variables as above, normal variables were submitted correctly. *** Now the usual system information: You can obtain the full configuration by calling http://139.18.20.141/test.php The configure line here again: +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Begin ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ './configure' '--prefix=/usr/share' '--datadir=/usr/share/php' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--libdir=/usr/share' '--libdir=/usr/local/lib' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--includedir=/usr/local/include' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/lib/php/bin' '--disable-debug' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ctype' '--enable-dbase' '--enable-discard-path' '--enable-exif' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-sigchild' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-versioning' '--with-bz2' '--with-dom=/usr/local/include/libxml2' '--with-ftp' '--with-gettext' '--with-imap=yes' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xml' '--with-zlib=yes' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot' '--with-mm' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-pcre-regex' '--without-pgsql' '--with-imap-ssl' ----------------------- End ----------------------- I have compiled PHP by getting php-4.2.3.tar.bz2 from http://de.php.net/get_download.php?df=php-4.2.3.tar.bz2 The md5 sum is OK. For APACHE I used the source RPM included in SuSE 8.0, that means version "1.3.23". ## ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20212&edit=1
