Aaaaargh.... I hate PHP, yet again

Periods in cookie names are translated into underscores. Fsnth*&$F08OU(7.

It took me so long staring at everything to figure out why my code wasn't working. I should have debugged it quicker, but it just didn't occur to me that the name I'd be sending wouldn't be the name I'd receive.

It has an easy solution... I'll just base64 encode the name, but what a pain in the ass.

I can't agree more. PHP sucks. And I hate it.

Actually I don't particularly hate features like this cookie thingy, but more on its language features, and "$this->" is on my #1 list.

So I do hate PHP as a language, but since PHP is also a platform I hate it even more (since PHP has so many cool, useful, etc. libraries and applications built on it that I can't use on a more decent and favorable language, duh...)
