Warning: Yahoo changes some EPP/AUTH code characters

[Hypersot]

I've attempted a transfer from Namecheap to Namesilo and I requested the EPP code for the transfer to be done.

For some reason, the code that I received on my yahoo mail didn't work.
Reason was that the code I received was 9MXAff-AFAU while the actual code Namecheap sent was 9MXAff-AFAU

I thought that that must be some browser setup cockup I have made when I installed it with the language settings, so I tried with 3 different browsers (opera, chrome, firefox)
Unfortunately, all showed the same wrong code.

On the bright side, I use all my emails with an email client and I managed to copy the correct code from there, so problem solved

just thought you people should know in case you face a similar issue

I guess the mail was sent in HTML format
X actually translates as X.
This is what happens when you don't properly 'escape' text, for example using htmlentities or htmlespecialchars in PHP
