It seems that it's too terrible to be the true code. "if($_COOKIE['4chan_auser']", "extract($_POST); extract($_GET); extract($_COOKIE);"

1. It's written in PHP. Finding a good PHP developer is nigh impossible (there are exceptions, like always). 2. I expected worse, to be honest.

Huh, it isn't hard to find a good PHP developer at all.. (easy to find someone who can code better than that example)

this makes it even more likely that it's the real code. Let's face it, no one is expecting a shining example of software design and architectural brilliance here

In my experience great PHP developers tend to find a way out from developing anything in PHP.
