Bug description: Input types of image from HTML forms are not stored in
$HTTP_XXXX_VARS
I have a php file containing a form which utilisies an image as a submit button in the
following format.
<input type="image" name="newcustomer" src="images/newcustomer.gif" alt="add a new
customer record">
When the button is clicked, the form posts back to the same page and some checks are
made to determine if
the button was the cause of the post as shown below...
if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["newcustomer.x"])) {
$editmode = true;
$customerid = -1;
} else {
$editmode = false;
}
When the above code is executed, $editmode always comes out as false. However, on
outputing the value of the
POST array for 'newcustomer.x' nothing is displayed. I have also tried to use GET as
the form method and printed out the contents of the GET array for 'newcustomer.x' and
it is also blank.
To follow this up I have also tried to make requests to a generic PHP file which
prints out the contents of the $HTTP_GET_VARS array and can always reproduce the fact
that any parameter containing a '.' within the name
are never stored.
Its possible that this problem could lie in the array structure itself rather than the
request processing, but I am not sure.
