#20418 [NEW]: transient SID sends a wrong ampersand(&)

From: imacat@mail.imacat.idv.tw Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.3.0-pre2 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: transient SID sends a wrong ampersand(&) Dear PHP group, I found a problem with transient SID. When I use transient SID with a link like this: <a href="test.php?no=23&amp;lang=en">Test Link</a> It sends this to the client: <a href="test.php?no=23&amp;lang=en&PHPSESSID=ef70c06edde2294bdec74ae0fa421828">Test LInk</a> The ampersand(&) is sent as "&" instead of "&amp;" here. According to HTML 4.01/XHTML 1.1 (http://www.w3.org/), amersands(&) should always be send as "&amp;" instead of "&" for the XML parser to work correctly. The latter result (&) cannot pass the W3C HTML validator (http://validator.w3.org/), and thus I cannot check the rest of my HTML. I'm testing with PHP 4.3.0pre2. Can you fix this in the next release? Thanks. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20418&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20418&r=isapi
