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

ID: 18205 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported By: hectorp@buckfoodsvc.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Suse Linux 8 PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: This was checked as a support question, "not developer issue*" specifically. It was seen as a support question because a solution to your problem exists in php.ini. Nothing personal. Although, this stems from a documentation problem, see bug #15603 for details. This documention problem is fixed in CVS. * http://bugs.php.net/quick-fix-desc.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 06:25:45] derick@php.net Yes, we have that ini setting for that, so you can work around it if you like (or care). Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 04:01:17] mfischer@php.net Why do we have a "arg_separator.output" ini setting or what am I missing here? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
