<form method="post">

in PHP we have:
$_POST["table_name"] instead of $_POST["table.name"]
someone knows some way to put this to work?? i wanna send 'table.name'
and
receive in php 'table.name'!
I don't know for certain but that's likely happening because a period is
not valid in a PHP variable name. One alternative would be to use
table[name] instead. This will lead to $_POST['table']['name'].
I think Stut is correct - the period is a concatenation operator.
also there are plenty of alertnatives to the Stuts suggested 'table[name]' naming approach.
that said given the following code:
$f = "my.bad";
$$f = "MY BAD";
echo $f, "\n", $$f, "\n";
... I personally feel that the $_POST should just contain
'table.name' - which is not an illegal array key - most likely the reason it is (the var name)
transformed is due to BC, namely with register_globals set to ON php is required to automatically
create a variable $table.name (which is not legal).
Indeed. I think technically this would be a bug because in an ideal
world it would only be transformed when extract'ed from the array.
There's no reason to transform it prematurely.
