Description:
------------
parse_str() quotes array keys when magic quotes are turned ON

(it actually quotes also values, but it is probably (but unfortunatelly) desired behavior)

Reproduce code:
---------------
parse_str( 'a["key"]=something', $arr);
print_r($arr);


Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [a] => Array
        (
            ["key"] => something
        )
)

or maybe

Array
(
    [a] => Array
        (
            [key] => something
        )
)




Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [a] => Array
        (
            [\"key\"] => something
        )
)

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The string you pass to parse_str() should be 
'a[key]=something'. When you include " in they key name 
they are being treated as part of the name rather then 
quotes in the argument. You'll encounter the same behaviour 
is you pass foo.php?a["key"]=something and have 
magic_quotes_gpc enabled.
