Here's how to stop the clumps (workaround)
1. Always have the first form variable have a name 5 or more letters
2. Don't have a name on the submit button
3. Have the value of any hidden field 4 or more letters or numbers

Hello,
When I post a html form with 3 hidden fields, with 3 or less
alphanumerics as the values, and 4 or less alphanumerics as the NAME of
the first field, and a submit button having a name value, the first
field variable has clumped all the other post data in it, instead of
just the magic variable for field 1 like it should.
Using phpinfo, there is _ENV[+] after _ENV[REMOTE_PORT] that shows
the telltale clump, or a line and a square when the form does not meet
the above situation. I do not know what this _ENV[+] is but think
it's a clue. There's also _SERVER[+] and in the Environment a plain +
after REMOTE_PORT that will be the name of my hidden field 1 with the
clump data.
I have seen many other complaints in the bug section about variables
missing or broken, but noone tracked down the cause as well as this. It
takes 3 simultaneous conditions.
You can see this in action at

I'm going to put a hidden field with 1000 as the value on every page as
my work-around. 999 didn't work, it's only 3 alphanumerics.
If you could find a fix it would be appreciated. BTW, one day, it's my
dream to have millions of $$$ and donate it to open source developers..
You make the world a better place.
Thanks
