Description:
------------
If a the <name>-tag of an <input> contains a dot, if is transferred to an underscore. I googled all around, but can't find anything.

I wonder because:
$test = array( 'title_image.img'=>'bla');
works. So why it is converted?

Is it a bug or a feature :-)?




Test script:
---------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>

<pre>
<?php
echo $_FILES['title_image.img']['name'];
var_dump( $_FILES);
?>
</pre>

<form name="form" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="title_image.img" />
<input type="submit" name="save" value="Speichern" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
  ["title_image.img"]=>
  array(5) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["type"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["tmp_name"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["error"]=>
    int(4)
    ["size"]=>
    int(0)
  }
}


Actual result:
--------------
Notice:  Undefined index: title_image.img in /media/DATA/home/mschmitz/public_html/customer/uni/fm/tischlerei/test.php on line 9

array(1) {
  ["title_image_img"]=>
  array(5) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["type"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["tmp_name"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["error"]=>
    int(4)
    ["size"]=>
    int(0)
  }
}
