Re: PHP 5.0.3 and base64 encoded cookie value issue?

Greetings again, Thanks to richard for pointing out a good way to devle into the source. It appears after browsing through the source that the ' ' (space) is encoded to '+'. Also the characters '_', '-', '.' do get special treatment. Obviously, this works great in the scenario where the cookie is set by the PHP/Server and retrieved by a PHP/Server. Since the encoding is not mandated by the spec, I guess I cannot fault PHP for doing what it does. But I am curious as to what led to the design decision to encode ' ' to '+'. Thanks to richard and others for all the help. MK [snipped the previous threads] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
