From: jon at phpsitesolutions dot com Operating system: Linux 2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp #1 SMP PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: *URL Functions Bug description: http_build_query - when 3rd parameter is empty, an empty separator is used
Description: ------------ When using http_build_query, passing an empty 3rd parameter results in no separator being used in the resulting output. This is incorrect, as the documentation page specifies that 'arg_separator.output' will be used in the event that the 3rd parameter is empty. To fix this issue in my scripts, I've had to explicitly define the separator to use, using: $sep = ini_get('arg_separator.output'); Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $query_string = 'mode=order_message&orderids=5048'; parse_str(html_entity_decode($qs), $query_string); $var = http_build_query($query_string); echo $var; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 'mode=order_message&orderids=5048' Actual result: -------------- 'mode=order_messageorderids%3D5048' -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45350&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45350&r=mysqlcfg
