ID: 37040 User updated by: indeyets at gmail dot com -Summary: autoconversion of variabel names should be turned off Reported By: indeyets at gmail dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: FreeBSD 5.4 PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment:
to make myself clear: I propose to turn off substitution of 'dots' with 'underscores' in variable names only for autoglobal-arrays. Substitution still should be made for registered globals. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-11 13:49:26] indeyets at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Currently, PHP does autoconversion of 'dots' in external variable names to 'underscores'. It is documented here: http://ru.php.net/variables.external It does make sense when application has register_globals enabled and prevents losing of incorrectly named variables. Though, it doesn't make sense when register_globals setting is disabled. In this mode, all external variables are placed inside of associative array, and 'dot' is just as legal for the key-name as 'underscore' is Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo '<a href="'.$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"].'?var.name=value">test</a><hr>'; echo '<pre>'; var_dump($_GET); echo '</pre>'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { ["var_name"]=> string(5) "value" } Actual result: -------------- array(1) { ["var.name"]=> string(5) "value" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37040&edit=1
