Hi all,

I searched high and low for a precise answer to this question, and
haven't found, so here goes.

I have a REST web service written in PHP (installation: Wamp with PHP
5.3.0).
Whether it receives
http://foo.bar/service?first.second=glob
or else
http://foo.bar/service?first_second=glob
it does exactly the same: it thinks it's receiving first_second.

Basically, dots are changed into underscores in the variable name
before being dispatched.

I understand that it happens, and I can live with it. But I can't find
any documentation about this, which bothers me. }:-[

This is what I found...

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.get.php
"The GET variables are passed through urldecode(). "

However I ran a simple test, and urldecode() doesn't replace dots with
underscores. :-(

I also understand that PHP may (magically) enforce filters
http://www.php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.php

I tested a number of them (with default settings), and also couldn't
find anything that changes "." to "_".

Here's the question: would anyone have a link that documents this?
Thanks
