Bug description: Arrays from form get send over as string instead of array
Description:
------------
By using form you can send Arrays over to the next page with the
name="var_name[]" method.
However, doing this will result in that the $_POST['var_name'] will
contain the string 'Array' all the time, no matter what is really send
in.
(Note: this also happend to me in php5.1.0-b3, gentoo forced me to
downgrade but I think it is also in php5.1.0-rc1, would be glad if anyone
can check this for me)
Reproduce code:
---------------
<select name="color[]">
<option value="*">All</option>
<option value="red">Red</option>
<option value="blue">Blue</option>
<option value="green">Green</option>
<option value="orange">Orange</option>
<option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
</select>
and on the next page in php code:
<?php
print_r($_POST);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
The expected result is (assuming you selected 'Green' and 'Red':
Array
(
[color] = Array
(
[0] = red
[1] = green
)
)
Actual result:
--------------
while will produce (no matter what you select):
Array
(
[color] = Array
)
