PHP version: 5.0.1
PHP Bug Type: Variables related
Bug description: Variable is treated differently in header() vs print()
Description:
------------
If I include a serialized variable in header() it produces an entirely
different result than if I just print() the result...
I've also tested: 4.3.3, 5.0.0 and of course 5.0.1 and its reproducable in
both scenario
Make sure you POST the form to get the variable back :)
even a strlen($s) will produce different results...its weird.
Thanks,
Eric
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function jpcache_debug2($s)
{
header("X-CacheDebug-five: $s");
print $s;
}
$myVariable = serialize($_POST);
jpcache_debug2($myVariable);
?>
<html><body>
<form method="POST" action="test-error.php">
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="bar">
<input type="submit" value="blah">
</form>
</body>
</html>bash-2.05$
Expected result:
----------------
