When you have a form that uses POST as it's action. The value of the variable in which you store the data is as follows:

let "avar" be the variable
let "johndoe" be the text entered
 
you end up with $_POST[avar]="johndoeavar=johndoe"

using apache 2.0.43. this bug was also filed as 18648, but it was closed as 'no feedback'. the problem does still exist here.

apache compiled with:
./configure --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --enable-so --enable-mods-shared="proxy proxy_connect proxy_http status autoindex asis cgi dir alias rewrite" --with-apxs --enable-ssl

php compiled with:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-mysql

let the web server be apache 2.0.43
let the php be 4CVS-2002-10-04
let there be a web form, submitted via POST, with only 1 field.

the contents of the variable of that one field get mangled.
if the name of the field is 'youraddress'
and you enter '14 bogusstreet'
the contents of $_POST[youraddress] become:
'14 bogusstreetyouraddress=14 bogusstreet'

Weird... looking at the other bugreports about this, this might be a configuration issue. Are you using the Input- and OutputFilter directives? You shouldn't. You only need the LoadModule line and one or more AddType lines.

as sander at php dot net suggested. this is the case, i was using the in/out filter in the apache config.

it wouldn't work without them in the previous version, but now it works al fine. thanks

You must use either use Input/Output filter or AddType, but not both. If so the problem happens!
