Re: Improper Character Handling In PHP BasedScriptslike PhpBB, IPB etc.

Hi,

I dont get a crash, Win2k Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0;
en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7

However,

If i paste into the google toolbar that comes with firefox then both
the -- are removed.  when I paste a second time it happens the same

as in
--test then paste again --test
displays
testtest

If i then highlight this and delete it i am still left with the word
test.  It would seem that the - symbols get reinterpreted into acsii
(cause there is 4 of them the word test reappears)

If i do exactly the same with the seach box on www.google.co.uk then i
get 1 minus sign in the box and when i highlight and delete all i get
'st' ( leading me to believe its the - symbols)

dont know if this helps

Cheers.
