hi,
PHP6 still replaces "." with an underscore in variables from
outside. this
is an old behavior forced by register globals so i would say its a
bug since
"." is valid in array keys.
for sample:
call a script like http://www.example.com/?my.var=1
now $_GET will look like this:
Array ( [my_var] => 1)
Thanks
It's a valid HTML input name attribute character [1] and imo the
replacement feature (where ' ' and '.' characters are replaced to '_')
should be removed in PHP 6, when the register_globals feature is
removed.
There will be PHP applications that need changing, but I estimate that
it will be fixed easily. And since PHP 6 is breaking a lot anyway,
what
other version would be more suitable to change this.

Not to be pedantic, and really, it further supports your case, the W3C
spec
for HTML, specifies that the name attribute is simply CDATA, therefore
anything is valid. It also says it's case-insensitive also, however I
doubt
that could be handled in any non-impactful way.
