[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #8453: Do not base64-encode cookies contents - please add to the manual From: otto <email protected>
Date: 12/28/00

From: otto <email protected>
Operating system: all
PHP version: 4.0.4
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: Do not base64-encode cookies contents - please add to the manual

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.
