Hi,

I'm running Apache 2.0.40 with PHP 4.2.3 as DSO.

Within my scripts I realised a problem that I tried to test specially now with a smaller script.

-----------------------
<?php
    $method = "_GET";
    echo $$method["id"];
    var_dump( $$method );
?>
-----------------------

produces on call with ?id=the+test added to the script's URL

-----------------------
array(1) {
  ["id"]=>
  string(8) "the test"
}
-----------------------

The echo output isn't there. If I try to assign it to some other value it gets set to NULL.

Is it a general change of PHP's behaviour or any error? Earlier I used this to reload a form's values, after dynamically creating and arranging it into some structure. However, that days I used the non-superglobal $HTTP_GET|POST_VAR ... this is obsolete, isn't it? And that's why I won't get back to use it any further ...
