Saving "&" in cookie... shows %26 instead!

[romio]

I am trying to save in a cookies some products "id's" separated by "&", but for some reasons in my cookie it does display “%26” instead, why this happening?

 

 

if(!isset($_COOKIE['mybasket'])){
$store_id = $store_id.'&';
setcookie("mybasket",$store_id);
}else{
$all_store_id = explode("&", $_COOKIE['mybasket']);
array_push($all_store_id, "$store_id&");
$all_store_id = implode($all_store_id);
setcookie("mybasket","$all_store_id");
}

What about changing the cookie when you call it?

put it through str_replace..

str_replace("%26", "&", COOKIENAME);

%26 is the hex representation of "&" since "&" is a special character.

 

Try urldecode() to change it back.
