My understanding is since $+ is illegal, PHP strips the illegal
characters from the post variables when creating the post array. I once
read it somewhere and if I recall correctly it either strips them
entirely or turns them into underscores.

Subject: [PHP] Form element names starting with the "+" character????
I have a simple method of creating easy form processing.... I
thought....
I came up with the idea (I am not claiming to be the first) to have form
elements I want to update via MySQL starting with either "-" or "+".
Example:
+name=DAN
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
-notes=
id=1
The first 2 are required and will be updated, the 3rd is optional and
will
be updated and the 4th (id) is simply passed as form data.
The idea here is that I parse the $_POST variable to auto create a
"UPDATE
table SET name = 'Dan', email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' WHERE = 1" string for
MySQL.
The issue is that if I use the "+" to indicate a required field for
error
trapping my $_POST array ends up like this:
+namD=AN
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
-notes=
id=1
Either this is a PHP / HTTP bug or I am up against some strange post
naming
restriction. I searched the web, the PHP site (includeing the bugs) and
could not spot an obvious reference.
Any ideas out there?
Dan
