Thank you all for your ideas so far, however, I ahve gone through all my
code, and cannot seem to find the culprit.
I did a var dump, and also a dump of the REQUEST, GET, and POST variables,
and here is an example of what I am seeing (submitting "test"):
string(7) "testiU"
_REQUEST: Array
(
[search] => testiU
[PHPSESSID] => 3aeab8d47f4a4383104e20a98963f608
)
_GET: Array
(
)
_POST: Array
(
[search] => testiU
and also removing just about everything, and even dropping all mysql table
indexes that are referenced in the headers, and it still seems to happen...
and even when going to just the search posting the code, sometimes it will
come up as:
string(7) "test"
_REQUEST: Array
(
[search] => test
[PHPSESSID] => 3aeab8d47f4a4383104e20a98963f608
)
_GET: Array
(
)
_POST: Array
(
[search] => test
)
again, any help is greatly appreciated! Is it possible that the sessions are
being corrupted somehow by apache/php? (the session here is leftover from
when I had some header files included)

Subject: [PHP] Re: Weird variable issue encountered... help needed!
My first thought is that some dynamic code on this page has an error.
Typical like this :
<input type="var" value="<?=$var?>'>
^ ^
Or maby a quote is missing? Looking at your examples it looks like there are
different parts of the HTML code comming into your var, which would
typically
be the case with broken quotes. On the other hand it looked like there was
a
session ID aswell in there, but mainly I would run my code through the W3
validator just to double check.
You could also, just in case check that the get_magic_quotes_gpc hasnt
changed.
There could also be some quotes in some variables messing up your code
again.
Going from magic_quotes to no_magic can be annoying - I did that experience
with my database application some weeks ago...
Hope this is of any help.
