Possible security hazard?
« on: September 04, 2007, 09:29:41 AM »
Got a really strange error today.  I was working on a web form and changed a form NAME value to a random number using php rand() and upon submitting the form I get this:
 
Warning: import_request_variables() [function.import-request-variables]: Numeric key detected - possible security hazard. in [path] on line [number]

I believe this is a security feature built in to PHP.  PHP recognizes that it is being fed random numbers through a form field and suspects it as a hacking attempt and prevents it.  I am not sure how to workaround that.
