Re: PHP 5.0.3 and base64 encoded cookie value issue?

don't forget that there is also: rawurlencode() and rawurldecode() possible php is using these internally instead? Pink Floyd wrote:

OK, after a little more closer examination, it does appear that the 'urlencode' is being used. I did the encode/decode thingy. BUT, the only character that is being messed up (at least the ones I had) appears to be '+'. After a lot of trial and error, I am fairly convinced that PHP parses the Cookie before 'urldecoding' it and for some reason the '+' character seems to be treated special. It could be that there may be some more 'filtering' going on before it reaches the 'urldecode' step. Richard, thanks for being with this thread so far. I will see if i can produce some output. --- Richard Lynch <ceo@l-i-e.com> wrote:

Greetings, I tested Richard's suggestion below, and it

appears

that 'urlencode' is not the function that I want. Are there any other options? Does anyone know

what

PHP uses internally to 'munge' the cookie? I

looked at

the php.ini doc's and I could not find any option

to

turn off whatever 'encoding' PHP uses internally.

Hmmm. Okay, show us some "before" and "after" values. It's *GOT* to be something not unlike urldecoding if it changes + to space. Damn! PHP's urlencode might use %20 instead of + (or vice versa) so then the urldecode and urlencode are not be true inverse functions, for space/%20/+ scenarios. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
