Description: ------------ Between 0.2 and 1.2.0, there appears to be a BBC. Specifically, the method for how post fields are handled between the two versions has changed. In 0.2, the fields property was passed directly to curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $this->fields). In 1.2.0, if $this->fields is an array, it's broken into an array of "key=value", then imploded with & and passed to curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields). I believe that when curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, [array]), the [array] is urlencoded, but curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, [string]), the [string] is not urlencoded. Test script: --------------- <?php if (!empty ($_POST)) { print_r ($_POST); } else { require_once 'Net/Curl.php'; $url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $fields = array ( 'one' => 'ok', 'two' => '8c78a jc 0p8- hkF f9py8 &*_( =083-= =7<F10> io$80Y )*gY089 408Y _PHUIV(p *vH038' ); $curl = &new Net_Curl ($url); $curl->fields = $fields; $result1 = $curl->execute (); $curl->close (); $ch = curl_init ($url); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $result2 = curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); echo '<pre>' . $result1 . "\n" . $result2 . '</pre>'; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [one] => ok [two] => 8c78a jc 0p8- hkF f9py8 &*_( =083-= =7 io$80Y )*gY089 408Y _PHUIV(p *vH038 ) Array ( [one] => ok [two] => 8c78a jc 0p8- hkF f9py8 &*_( =083-= =7 io$80Y )*gY089 408Y _PHUIV(p *vH038 ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [one] => ok [two] => 8c78a jc 0p8- hkF f9py8 [*_(_] => 083-= =7 io$80Y )*gY089 408Y _PHUIV(p *vH038 ) Array ( [one] => ok [two] => 8c78a jc 0p8- hkF f9py8 &*_( =083-= =7 io$80Y )*gY089 408Y _PHUIV(p *vH038 )

This may not have anything to do with urlencoding actually... it may just be the unescaped & character in the fields causing the problem. The BBC still exists, however.

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php#46377 Looks like I should be urlencode'ing the $val. Please take a look at line 521 in Net/Curl.php. It should look like this: $sets[] = $key . '=' . $val; Change it to this: $sets[] = $key . '=' . urlencode($val); Does that fix it? If so I'll roll a new release this weekend or early next week. I always figured curl did all the url encoding itself. What version of curl are you running (I seem to remember running into this problem while debugging Payment_Process with Net_Curl and I was double encoding).

Yup, that fixes the problem.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been fixed in the latest released version of the package, which you can download at http://pear.php.net/get/Net_Curl
