Description:
------------
Sending GET and POST requests such as:
http://mysite/script.php?param1=value1&boolvalue2&param3=value3

$_GET returns param1, boolvalue2, and param3.
file_get_contents("php://input") also returns all three.

$_POST returns param1 and param3, but boolvalue2 is ignored.


Expected result:
----------------
Results should be the same, regardless of method.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

From a very quick testing I either misunderstood you or could not reproduce it.

This is expected behavior. You need a = at least. We don't plan to change this due to BC issues as some applications assume those to be ignored by PHP :/

Interesting to know. Thanks, Johannes!
