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

ID: 20418 Comment by: imacat@mail.imacat.idv.tw Reported By: imacat@mail.imacat.idv.tw Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.0-pre2 New Comment: Dear PHP group, Oh... :p I'm terribly sorry for this. I have only checked the settings in the "session" section, and searched the PHP bug database in with the keyword "transient SID". Sorry for the unnecessary bothering and thank you for taking time on this.

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20418&edit=1
