Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-02 13:24:13] wallacebw at yahoo dot com Hello, The default value for arg_separator.output is currently '&' which although functional is incorrect acurding to w3c.org's html 4.01 specification. the correct code to use in links (according to w3c) is the html special char '&'. Is there any reason that this is not the default behavior? i.e. URL's rewritten by PHP's session url rewriter appends '&PHPSESSID=*sessionid*'... odviously *sessionid* would be the true session ID... This will fail the W3C html validator. However if you issue a ini_set("arg_seperator.output", "&"); first (thus replacing '&' with '&') php returns '&PHPSESSID=*sessionid*'. which validates fine. Again, this is not so much a functionality issue.. it's more Of a conformance issue.
