Operating system:
PHP version: 7.3.23
Package: HTTP related
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:setcookie() is not RFC 6265 compliant
Description:
------------
According to the documentation the setcookie() implements RFC
6265.According to this RFC the cookie name is a 'token'. The 'token' is
defined in RFC 2616. According to RFC 2616 a token is:
token = 1*<any CHAR except CTLs or separators>
separators = "(" | ")" | "<" | ">" | "@"
| "," | ";" | ":" | "\" | <">
| "/" | "[" | "]" | "?" | "="
| "{" | "}" | SP | HT
As a consequence statements like "setcookie("cookie[three]",
"cookiethree");"
are not compliant with RFC 2616.
Above statement is from the setcookie() documentation: Example #3
setcookie() and arrays
Expected result:
----------------
Easy way out would be to add a note to the documentation that the use of
'[' and ']' is not compliant with RFC 6265.
