Oh my god, U+007F (DELETE) is a valid character in PHP variable names, everything I knew is a lie eval.in/788177

Those little red squares are delete control characters. awoo.space/media/-ORrq2EVEXvHD

@Efi I thought Ruby allowing non-breaking spaces in variable names was bad enough but this is some NEXT LEVEL shit

@Efi nada, nothing. It's not evaluating the delete, it's actually allowing \x7F to be part of the variable name.

@Efi Me slowly discovering that everything in the office that isn't mine is horrendously dirty
