Of course, the conversion is correct. But if you're printing the
value in an HTML (or XML) document, you have to escape special
characters (e.g. by using htmlspecialchars()).

if (arg_separator.output = "& amp;") the correct transformation is present in the
address &
if (arg_separator.output = "&") conversion is not correct!
but this is not a recipe because the address used file_get_contents and similar functions, and
&amp does not work there

Usually, this should work fine, see <https://3v4l.org/KS61j>.

What is the value of your ini setting of arg_separator.output[1]?
What is your locale?

Description:
------------
http_build_query incorrectly converts a string.

Example.

$url = 'http://site.com/action?';
$url .= http_build_query([
  'param1' => 10,
  'region' => 'en'
]);

P.S>Setting arg_separator (& amp) solves the problem, but this approach does not in all
cases.



Test script:
---------------
$url = 'http://site.com/action?';
$url .= http_build_query([
  'param1' => 10,
  'region' => 'en'
]);
echo $url;

Expected result:
----------------
http://site.com/action?param1=10&region=en

Actual result:
--------------
http://site.com/action?param1=10®ion=en
