From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Linux 2.2.19 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Character '+' used as argv separator in sapi version
The '+' character is used as argv separator in the sapi version of PHP4. Therefore, executing this script: <?php // myscript.php echo "first=".$argv[1]."\n"; echo "second=".$argv[2]."\n"; ?> Will produce incoherent results if you put a + in one of the argmuments: # php -q myscript.php "tomatoes and garlic" first=tomatoes and garlic second= # php -q myscript.php "tomatoes+garlic" first=tomatoes second=garlic The bug is located in PHP source file 'sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c', line 643 and above, in function 'int main(int argc, char *argv[])' ... if (script_file) { strcpy(s, script_file); strcat(s, "+"); // ^^^^^^^^ '+' AS SEPARATOR } for (i = ap_php_optind, len = 0; i < argc; i++) { strcat(s, argv[i]); if (i < (argc - 1)) { strcat(s, "+"); // ^^^^^^^^ '+' AS SEPARATOR } } ... A quick-and-easy fix might be to use '\n' as separator, or any other non standard (ascii<32) character. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13813&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
