Oh my god, U+007F (DELETE) is a valid character in PHP variable names, everything I knew is a lie https://eval.in/788177
Those little red squares are delete control characters. https://awoo.space/media/-ORrq2EVEXvHDNErTMM
@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 Hey hey hey it was my boss' keyboard not mine lol
@Efi Me slowly discovering that everything in the office that isn't mine is horrendously dirty
@vahnj I have regrets about software
@bunnyhero @Efi suggested testing whether the variable name was actually `$va`, but, no... lol
@dog eeeewwwwwwwwwww
