Description:
------------
I've got a problem while trying to process results of submitting such kind of a form :
<form  method=post >
<input name=vname value="1"><BR>
<input name=vname value="2"><BR>
<input name=vname value="3"><BR>
<input name=vname value="4"><BR>
<input type=submit><BR>
</form>
PHP generates only one variable $vname with value 4
instead of array  $vaname[] with 4 elements.

It was impossible to change html of the form. So I had to parse data read from 'php://input'.







Reproduce code:
---------------
Submittion of 
<form  method=post >
<input name=vname value="1"><BR>
<input name=vname value="2"><BR>
<input name=vname value="3"><BR>
<input name=vname value="4"><BR>
<input type=submit><BR>
</form>

Expected result:
----------------
value of $vname is
array( 
0 => 1, 
0 => 2,
0 => 3,
0 => 4)

Actual result:
--------------
value of $vname is 4

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

Your bug was marked bogus because it isn't a bug.  PHP was designed to do it that way.  Parsing the query string directly is your only real option here unless you feel up to patching PHP.  I wrote a patch that changes this behaviour:

But you are completely on your own if you apply this.  You will be running a very non-standard PHP and it may break other scripts rather badly.
