Hi all! I have a quite a brain puzzler here that I would love to hear some
people's feedback on.

I have inherited a PHP system that is definately on the strange side. I am
stuck with the situation of either adding to the beast, or simply
reprogramming the entire site.

The one technique that I have a bit of a question about is realted to the
handling of MySQL results. It seems that when you query the database with
their system, it takes all the results and outputs them into a string
similar to:

I have a question<:>I have an answer

which is then interpreted:

list($question, $answer) = explode("<:>",$result);

back to normal variables.

Does this soind familiar to anyone? I have never run across anything like
this and was wondering if maybe someone could explain to me why this could
be desirable.

Thanks in advance!
