PHP Bug Type: HTTP related
Bug description: url decoding of POST varables
Description:
------------
I am using the Java class HttpURLConnection to post variables to a php
script and I'm encoding them using URLEncoder (UTF-8). The POST variables
do not seem to be decoded correctly when a double or single quote is in
the stream. A backslash character is prepended to it making it impossible
for me to send for example:
select * from MyTable where MyColumn="brill"
I end up with
select * from MyTable where MyColumn=\"brill\"
I have checked the string going to the server and it lookes like this for
the example above:
select+*+from+MyTable+where+MyColumn%3D%22brill%22
which of course is correct for UTF-8.
I have not tested this on Linux.
Reproduce code:
---------------
HttpURLConnection l_connection =
(HttpURLConnection)m_url.openConnection();
l_connection.setDoOutput( true );
String l_postVars = URLEncoder.encode("MySQL", "UTF-8") + "=" +
URLEncoder.encode("select * from MyTable where MyColumn=\"brill\"",
"UTF-8");
OutputStreamWriter l_os = new OutputStreamWriter(
l_connection.getOutputStream() );
l_os.write( l_postVars, 0, l_postVars.length() );
l_os.flush();
PHP code:
echo $_POST['MySQL'];
Expected result:
----------------
select * from MyTable where MyColumn="brill"
Actual result:
--------------
select * from MyTable where MyColumn=\"brill\"
