I think Stut is correct - the period is a concatenation operator.
also there are plenty of alertnatives to the Stuts suggested 'table[name]'
naming approach.
that said given the following code:
$f = "my.bad";
$$f = "MY BAD";
echo $f, "\n", $$f, "\n";
... I personally feel that the $_POST should just contain
'table.name' - which is not an illegal array key - most likely the reason it is
(the var name)
transformed is due to BC, namely with register_globals set to ON php is
required to automatically
create a variable $table.name (which is not legal).
