Re: How to work around FORM method="post" changing "." to "_" please?

In our last episode,

the lovely and talented william.hooper@xxxxxxxxx
broadcast on comp.lang.php:

Here is a manual... http://www.php.net/manual/en/ but it has no
chapter 65 and it looks quite long...

Yes, it is several megs depending on format.

However, you should realize that many of your questions reveal that you do
not know HTML. The PHP manual will not teach you HTML.

If you had looked in your copy of your HTML dtd (this happens to be
4.01 strict, but you'll find something similar in your dtd)

<!ELEMENT FORM - - (%block;|SCRIPT)+ -(FORM) -- interactive form -->
<!ATTLIST FORM
%attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events --
action %URI; #REQUIRED -- server-side form handler --
method (GET|POST) GET -- HTTP method used to submit the form--

This should have told your that method defaults to GET.

I don't know if the PHP manual mentions this, but it isn't PHP's job to
teach you HTML.


For example, your latest question here was based on the theory that POST
will change periods to underscorces. POST does not do this. PHP does this
under certain circumstances and will also change space to underscores under
certain circumstances (because PHP variable names cannot contain periods or
spaces).

This does not pose a problem for most people because most people do not
expect to have both foo_jpg (no extension) and foo.jpg. Yes, if you do
have an image named foo_jpg (no extension) then some ambiguity could
result. But sane people do not name images foo_jpg (no extension).
