PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: Unable to access *original* posted variable name with dot in
Description:
------------
PHP automagically converts the '.' char in POST/GET field names to '_'.
While i am fully aware as to why it does it, there is are a number
arguments for being able to turn off this 'feature':
(a) There is no way to change a field name 'animal.moo_cows'
back to it's original form other than manually parsing
the POST/GET data.
(b) For those silly enough to be using register globals,
$moo.cows may not be a valid variable - but then
neither is $moo:cows, or $moo!cows, yet : and ! are not
converted into underscores. where is the logic in that?
Having a ini setting or some such to be able to turn off this rather
messed up behaviour would be very useful.
