I took some variables and encoded it, then when I want to decode these data to display it, I found that it doesn't exist or can't be decoded ... Reproduce code: --------------- function docookie($setuid, $setusername, $setpass, $setstorynum, $setumode, $setuorder, $setthold, $setnoscore, $setublockon, $settheme, $setcommentmax) { $info = base64_encode("$setuid:$setusername:$setpass:$setstorynum:$setumode:$setuorder:$setthold:$setnoscore:$setublockon:$settheme:$setcommentmax"); } function cookiedecode($user) { global $user, $cookie; $user = base64_decode($user); $cookie = explode(":", $user); } Expected result: ---------------- variable $cookie[1] should contain the username entered Actual result: -------------- $cookie is empty .. doesn't contain any encoded or decoded data ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28328&edit=1
