Eating the first 4 characters of array variables submitted through forms

Hi,

I have this pretty bizzard problem. I just install PHP and Apache on my system. I realize that if I submit a form with "post" method of an array, the first 4 characters of my variable will get dropped!

code:

<?php
	var_dump($_REQUEST);
?>
<form method="post">

<input name="a[]" value="123456789" />
<input type="button" onClick="this.form.submit();" />

</form>

html output:
array(1) { ["a"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(5) "56789" }

please advise,

Thanks!!

Justin

Is:

if ($_POST) {
   var_dump($_POST);

} else {

echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\">
<input type=\"text\" name=\"a[]\" value=\"123456789\">
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"submit\">
</form>
";
}
?>

any different?

Thanks for the response!

The result was the same.

I uninstalled PHP 4.4.1 and installed PHP 5 instead. That seemed to fixed it... weird...

Thanks again,
