[dev] php question: HTTP_POST_VARS replacing "." with "_" in variables

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Quoting Atif Ghaffar <aghaffar@developer.ch>:

> It doesnt like "." in var names?

http://us.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php (www.php.net isn't 
responding for me, substitute the appropriate mirror), most of the way down the 
page.

> 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

I'm sure there's a way to write it in php easily...
