Bug description: $_FILES array keys have periods replaced with underscores
Description:
------------
After a file upload, the $_FILES array does not faithfully reflect the
structure of the form from which the upload was made. An input with the
valid HTML name of 'a.b' becomes the key 'a_b' in the $_FILES array.
The same is true of the other request superglobals.
The PHP manual says that an array index can be any string, and the HTML 5
rec says that the name attribute can be CDATA.
Now that register_globals is on its last legs in the community, could you
make it so that the dot transformation happens only when you explictly
extract() or import_request_variables()
Reproduce code:
---------------
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
<input name="a.b" type="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
Expected result:
----------------
Something like this:
$_FILES is array (
'a.b' => array (
'name' => '5364-16.jpg',
'type' => 'image/jpeg',
'tmp_name' =>
'/tmp/php7vvvc0',
'error' => 0,
'size' => 66554, ),
)
Actual result:
--------------
$_FILES is array (
'a_b' => array (
'name' => '5364-16.jpg',
'type' => 'image/jpeg',
'tmp_name' =>
'/tmp/php7vvvc0',
'error' => 0,
'size' => 66554, ),
)
