Bug description: Arrays in Forms laid out using tables
Description:
------------
If you use javascript to create a textbox in forms which is laid out using
tables, the data from the new elements will not be detected by php. This
does not happen with the same script where tables are not used (I have
before and after to show below).
post_max_size was set to 20M and upload_max_filesize was set to 30M in
php.ini
Reproduce code:
---------------
-------------------Script A - Tableless ------------------
<?
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
foreach($_POST['animals'] as $anim => $a)
{
echo $anim.' '.$a.'<br />';
}
}
?>

<head>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
var curUser=3;
function add_row()
{
var af=document.getElementById('anim_tab');
//First Name
var inone=document.createElement("input");
inone.name="animals["+curUser+"]";
inone.type="text";
inone.value="";
//Append the cells to the row
var myp=document.createElement('p');
af.appendChild(inone);
af.appendChild(myp);
curUser++;
}
-->
</script>

<form method="post" action="" id="anim_form">
<div style="border:0;" id="anim_tab">
<?
for($i=0;$i<3;$i++)
{
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"animals[]\" style=\"width=400px;\"
/><p />\n";
}
?>
</div>
<input type="button" name="add" value="Add" onClick="add_row();" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
----------------------Script B - Tables----------------------------
<?
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
foreach($_POST['animals'] as $anim => $a)
{
echo $anim.' '.$a.'<br />';
}
}
?>

var lr = af.rows.length;

var td1=document.createElement('td');
//First Name
var inone=document.createElement("input");
inone.type="text";

<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<table id="anim_tab">
<form method="post" action="" id="anim_form">
<?
for($i=0;$i<3;$i++)
{
echo "<tr><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"animals[]\"
style=\"width=400px;\" /></td></tr>";
}
?>
</table>
<input type="button" name="add" value="Add" onClick="add_row();" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Expected result:
----------------
Data from the textboxes created using the add button should be displayed
when submitted.
The table version works when using IE7 but not when using Opera 9.20 and
Firefox 2. The tableless version works in all browsers.
Actual result:
--------------
Only data from the original form elements is displayed not the javascript
created ones.
Could be a browser bug since IE7 delivers the data fine, but why not
standards compliant browers?
Please don't just fob me off by telling me it's already been fixed.
