Bug #18205 Updated: Session ID added to URL not HTML compliant

ID: 18205 Updated by: mfischer@php.net Reported By: hectorp@buckfoodsvc.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Suse Linux 8 PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: Why do we have a "arg_separator.output" ini setting or what am I missing here? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 01:41:56] hectorp@buckfoodsvc.com "Can you guarantee that making this change would not break any clients out there?" I can't find one that cares -- Opera, Mozilla, Konqueror, Lynx, Links, IE, etc. all work correctly either way. Thus it would seem to be the smart thing to do to comply with the standards, as those clients may _not_ work with noncompliant URLs later. However, note that I merely reported the bug -- what you do with it is up to you. There are lots of programming languages out there if it comes to that, and I'm capable of making my choices and living with them. I just didn't much appreciate being told it wasn't a bug but a request for "support." I take it that PHP doesn't stand for "Pretty Happy Programmers." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 01:36:41] rasmus@php.net Can you guarantee that making this change would not break any clients out there? I know what the standard says, and I know what the validators say, but I really don't care. I care a lot more about what works. The current mechanism works everywhere and as such the motivation to change it just because a validator says to is nonexistant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 01:22:28] hectorp@buckfoodsvc.com Perhaps some actual developer would like to take note of this bug and fix it. Or not. Perhaps I'd like to go back to C. Sheesh. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 01:15:23] sniper@php.net Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-06 23:29:35] hectorp@buckfoodsvc.com What the hell are you talking about? I just reported a bug in the way php transparently adds the session id to a link in a page a php program generates; I didn't ask a support question or _any_ question at all. Pay attention, junior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
