Well I think using periods in variable names in general is a no-no, but other
then being a little out-of-the-norm I see no reason why you shouldn't
be allowed to.

P.S. OEOne is sweeeeet software, good job.

Hi all:
I filled a bug today that quickly got resolved invalid, but I think it
deserves another look.
I had a bit of a problem today with "." getting converted to "_" for
my variable names automatically.
I have been told that this was because if you have register_globals
on, then you can't have a variable with a . in its name. Fair enough.
However, since that's now considered to be bad practice, it would make
sense to me that this "feature" get another look. I can see no logical
reason to not allow . in the global $_POST variable...
Basically, what I'd like is to be able to post a form element with
id="myvariable.whatever" and access it on the next page with
$_POST["myvariable.whatever"].
Comments are appreciated.
Mike
