Author #29799 [Opn]: extract performs urldecode?

Status: Open
Bug Type: Documentation problem
Operating System: WinXP SP2
PHP Version: 5.0.1
New Comment:

It's true that nowhere is it mentioned that any variables from outside
PHP will be automatically urldecode()'ed... but isn't this expected
behaviour? When you pass a variable, whether through POST, GET or
Cookies, don't you want that variable to be as it was sent, rather than
encoded?

I know this might be confusing for people coming from other languages
(such as Perl), but doesn't it make sense to have it that way?

$_REQUEST is already url-decoded and couldn't find any documentation?

make clean when url-decoding is performed.
