PHP version: 5.2.5
PHP Bug Type: Variables related
Bug description: Using periods in encapsulated variables returns white page
Description:
------------
Using dots in queries, e.g. "/index.php?this.is.a.test", which returns a
white page with no error, even with 'error_reporting(E_ALL)'. However using
any other symbol, such as a colon, returns the correct result.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
if(isset($_GET['this.is.a.test'])) {
echo('It works!'); exit();
}
if(isset($_GET['this;is;a;test'])) {
echo('It works!'); exit();
}
if(isset($_GET['this;is;a;test'])) {
echo('It works!'); exit();
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
It works!
Actual result:
--------------
/index.php?this.is.a.test = <white page, no error>
/index.php?this;is;a;test = 'It works!'
/index.php?this:is:a:test = 'It works!'
