PHP engine doesn't parse POST data in a right way. If some variable contains special character (@ ; \ etc), PHP engine recognizes only characters preceeding this special one, and adds a percent sign. (E. g. if in POST data were ...&var1=asd@fgh&...

   print $var;

prints only

   asd%

).

Our PHP configuration:
Apache 1.3.9 (Unix) PHP/4.0B2 mod_ssl/2.4.5 OpenSSL/0.9.4 rus/PL28.20

There is no bug here.  A @ is not a valid character in POST data of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
