php question: HTTP_POST_VARS replacing "." with "_" in variables

[Atif Ghaffar]

Is this strange or?
I have 
<input type=text name="css::a.hover::color"  value="something"> in my
form.
but when I list HTTP_POST_VARS
css::a.hover::color converts to
css::a_hover::color

It doesnt like "." in var names?

Also I wast able to use "css[a.hover][color]" as a var name.

I am writting a script to easily change the html.php files and also
support for themes. 
If someone can tell me a way to get around this naming problem, Ill
finish it in PHP, otherwise I will have to restart writting it in perl.

thanks for help.
