PHP 4.0 Bug #8453 Updated: Do not base64-encode cookies contents - please add to the manual

ID: 8453 Updated by: jmoore Reported By: otto@kekalainen.net Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Assigned To: Comments: THis is more suited to the user notes (You can add it yourself). I dont really think it has a palce in the actual manual. THere are hundreds of warnings like this we could include but dont. James Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-28 10:40:19] otto@kekalainen.net This is not an actual bug, but it might behave as one. Cookies will not be set, if their contents are base64_encoded, since the encoding seems to have characters which mess up the cookie. So, if a user fills cookies with a bit more complicated data, he/she might want to encode it as e.g. hexa-decimals. This could be mentioned in the PHP-documentation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8453
