Description:
------------
Under Windows 2003 IIS 6,
I had a list of
<input type="text" name="blah[]" />

and I had
var_dump($_POST['blah']);
in the action page

I got:
string(5) "Array"

!@#$%^&*
================

After I turned magic_quotes_gpc to off,
I got what I want:
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(4) "blah"
  [1]=>
  string(4) "bluh"
}


I thought it is because magic_quotes_gpc forget to consider data type while adding slashes.

//This problem dosen't exist under FreeBSD

Reproduce code:
---------------
<input type="text" name="blah[]" />
<input type="text" name="blah[]" />

var_dump($_POST['blah']);

Expected result:
----------------
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(4) "blah"
  [1]=>
  string(4) "bluh"
}

Actual result:
--------------
string(5) "Array"

Sorry,
I made mistake....:(

I included some auto-stripslashes code,
but it is those code doesnt respect data type,
not php's fault.
