Bug #30460 vars from querystring are bad/wrong urldecoded
Submitted: 2004-10-16 21:06 UTC Modified: 2004-10-17 02:32 UTC
From: smsc at gmx dot de Assigned:
Status: Not a bug Package: Variables related
PHP Version: 4.3.8 OS: Any
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2004-10-16 21:06 UTC] smsc at gmx dot de
Description:
------------
Passing variables like e.g. urls which contain a + char in filenames or simple math questions like 1+1 is not possible because vars are urldecoded before they are passed on within php. A "+" in the variable is always "decoded" to space, which makes it impossible to take user input like not encoded urls or math questions directly but requires parsing by hand from querystring.

Reproduce code:
---------------
print $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']."<BR>";
print $_GET['var']."<BR>";
print $var;

called with ..script.php?var=1+1 (register_globals on)


Expected result:
----------------
var=1+1
1+1
1+1

Actual result:
--------------
var=1+1
1 1
1 1
