Php 5.5.36? Redirects To Url-Encoded Paths?

Store Builder in detail Issues & Troubleshooting
#1

So on a server running php 5.5.36 I am continually running into an issue where things like store import or site upgrades just redirect to blank pages. I have no errors in error_log, apache or anywhere else I can think to look. If I set dev mode, I still just get a blank page.

Is there some weird flag I'm not flipping or something?

Example output:

{click upgrade, validate store path or whatever}

http://some.site/admin.php?store_data%5Bpath%5D=%2Fhome%valid%2Fpublic_html%store&dispatch%5Bstore_import.index.step_2%5D=Validate&security_hash=6a7eec00a05fbe155edbb46c97dddac7
200 OK, no data

right this is on a 4.3.6 install and also trying to upgrade from 4.2.2 - > whatever is next

Path got link-a-fied. This is what I'm seeing

some.site/admin.php?store_data%5Bpath%5D=%2Fhome%25valid%2Fpublic_html%25store&dispatch%5Bstore_import.index.step_2%5D=Validate&security_hash=6a7eec00a05fbe155edbb46c97dddac7

If I'm not mistaken, 4.3.6 requires a minimum PHP version of 5.6.

Be sure to change any error_reporting() functions you see are set to error_reporting(E_ALL) and do not remove any NOTICES or DEPRECATED errors.
