Description:
------------
Since the last php-update I can not POST html-tags inside a string. If I create a simple form within a textarea, after submit var_dump($_POST) outputs just plain-text without the html-tags. As a result of that, all CMS on my server don't work anymore. 

See what I did inside the code-area.

PHP Version 5.1.6-pl4-gentoo

Reproduce code:
---------------
<form action="#" method="post">
  <fieldset style="width: 300px; margin: auto;">
    <legend>A simple form</legend>
    <label for="id_textarea">Input some text with html-tags here</label><br />     
    <textarea id="id_textarea" name="text" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea><br />
    <input type="submit" name="name" value="Submit"/>
  </fieldset>
</form>
<br />
<?php
  if ( isset ($_POST['text']) ){
  	$output  = '<div>' . "\r\n";
    $output .= "\t" . '<h2>The output of $_POST inside a pre-tag</h2>' . "\r\n";
    $output .= "\t" . '<pre style="border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 5px;">';
    $output .= $_POST['text'];
    $output .= '</pre>' . "\r\n";
    $output .= '</div>' . "\r\n";
    echo($output);
  }
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Output of the string I sent.

Actual result:
--------------
Output of plain-text without html-tags

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

I found it, and imho this is a real BUG. But not a PHP rather than a pecl bug.

It is already documented:
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=7571

WORKAROUND:
Inside the /ext dir you can find a filter.ini
Uncomment the one and only line:
;extension=filter.so
