PHP inserts & replaces text when parsing

[tpclarke2]

I have noticed that PHP replaces characters when parsing from $POST. For example, I have a form field with the name AIC6.1 - when displaying the $key as $value, the key comes through as AIC6_1. PHP replaced the . with an

I also noticed that if the $key contains a blank space, PHP replaces that with an underscore as well.

Is there a way around this? These are creating some undesired results.

Thanks.

Sure - don't use characters in form field names that PHP considers to be invalid. :p

Otherwise, you'd probably have to resort to parsing the POST'ed data manually (e.g. reading from 'php://stdin' or something of that nature).
