So the other day i was debuging some code and the $_GET parameter names were send with dots like for example those:

?user.name=test&user.age=20

When i wanted to use them i saw they were renamed with underscores like so

$_GET['user_name']
$_GET['user_age']

So my question is, why is this happening?

**it is important to note that PHP will automatically replace any dots in incoming variable names with underscores.** from the manual. :) – devpro Jan 28 '16 at 13:26
