Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Thank you for your interest in PHP. This has been filed many times... and it's not a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-02 13:51:06] bertrand at epistema dot com Description: ------------ Can someone please add more information to bug 34578 ? The only two places in the documentation that refers to the fact that PHP replaces dots with underscores in variable names are http://fr.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php#64336 and http://fr.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php but doesn't really help on the why of this behaviour... Are dots not valid in variable names ? Since when ? Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo '<pre>what : <br>' . print_r($_GET, true) . '</pre><br>'; ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> <form method="GET"> <input type="hidden" name="test.one" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="test.two" value="2" /> <input type="submit" name="submitMe" value="Click me" /> </form> </body> </html> Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [test.one] => 1 [test.two] => 2 [submitMe] => Click me ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [test_one] => 1 [test_two] => 2 [submitMe] => Click me ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40000&edit=1
