Description:
------------
Hi,

I have found the following problem. I try to produce a query string and I found that using lang as a key makes problem with implode.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$all = array(
	'turkce',
	'english',
	'german'
);

$t = array();
foreach ($all as $al) {
	$t[] = 'lang[]='.$al;
}

echo implode('&',$t);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
lang[]=turkce&lang[]=english&lang[]=german

Actual result:
--------------
lang[]=turkce&#9001;[]=english&#9001;[]=german

also found that using "times" instead of "lang" causes a similar result.

I tried with CLI:
# src/build/php_5_2/sapi/cli/php t.php
lang[]=turkce&lang[]=english&lang[]=german

And no problems there. In what browser does it give you that? Have you got some weird locale set on your machine or what?

I am using apache 2.59, and my Windows Locale is Turkish. But I think it is not about locale. Because when I test it with the enviroment on Centos apache 2.59 with php5.2.4 it gives me the same result and the locale is en_US.

It may be caused by apache sapi. But the problem function is "implode()". It works normally when I parse the results with "foreach"

It only shows in firefox, in internet explorer it gives me the result, but i couldn't understand why when I do not use implode(); it works normally. The results are same, doesn't it mean that browser execute the same code?

sorry for bothering, it is all about firefox. thanks anyway.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Do a view source... IE probably uses &lang as an HTML entity even though there is no required ; preceeding it.
