Perhaps this should be a web site UI enhancement request. Either accept numerical as well as spellings for answers, or make the expected response more explicit. thanks! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-05 14:38:52] sala...@php.net Only as dim as I was! There is a hint, but it is out of the way (on larger screens). See http://i.imgur.com/aSEGMcU.png ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-05 14:28:55] cgray at metamedia dot us I was entering numbers as my challenge response (did not see any direction to SPELL the numeric answers (?)). Am I being dim here? Public IP: 67.187.112.122 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-05 14:20:08] sala...@php.net I successfully managed to submit the quoted text using your email address (whilst logged out from php.net) without issue. See http://news.php.net/php.notes/195872 However, I did stumble once on the spam challenge... twice. It was like "min(three, eleven)" and I answered with a number "3" instead of the word "three". Were you doing the same as I did? If not, then the email/content of the note doesn't seem to prevent it from getting posted, which (barring the above user error) would make it look like a DNS blacklist issue. If this might be the case, could you provide your public- facing IP address? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-05 13:24:41] cgray at metamedia dot us Yes, you understanding of the report is correct. Using my email address @metamedia.us Below is what I was attempting to post. thanks -c! ----- Returning values from a multidimensional array based using variable variables and infinite key depth I banged my head against this but could not find a way in language structure or in functions to retreive a value from a multidimensional array where the key path is known as a variable string. I considered some sort of recursive function, but it seemed cumbersome for what should be a one-liner. My solution uses eval() to return the array value: <?php $geolocation = array("ip"=>"127.0.0.1", "location" => array("city" => "Knoxville", "state_province" => "TN", "country" => "USA")); print_r($geolocation); // Array ( [ip] => 127.0.0.1 [location] => Array ( [city] => Knoxville [state_province] => TN [country] => USA ) ) // typical use of variable variables $key = "ip"; $result = $geolocation[$key]; print_r($result); // 127.0.0.1 $key = "location"; // another typical use of variable variables $result = $geolocation[$key]; print_r($result); // Array ( [city] => Knoxville [state_province] => TN [country] => USA ) // but how do we go deeper? this does NOT work $key = "location['city']"; // $result = $geolocation[$key]; // Notice: Undefined index: location['city'] // print_r($result); // this does NOT work $key = "['location']['city']"; // $result = $geolocation{$key}; // Notice: Undefined index: ['location'] ['city'] // print_r($result); // this works: $key = "['location']['city']"; $result = eval('echo $geolocation'."$key;"); print_r($result); // Knoxville ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-03 07:02:23] google...@php.net I'm not sure I'm clear on the parameters of the bug you're trying to report. Are you saying you attempted to submit to the user contributed notes and received a spam error? Can you provide the note you attempted to submit and email you used (if any)? There are certain things that can trigger the spam filter and yours may have gotten caught there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
