Bug #16810 Updated: URL rewriting is not HTML/XHTML compliant

ID: 16810 Updated by: jimw@php.net Reported By: email@cczona.com Status: Closed Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux RedHat PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2002-04-2 New Comment: note that this is not correct with regards to input elements. the name attribute is only deprecated for the a, applet, form, frame, iframe, img, and map elements. (see C.8 of the xhtml spec, and the dtds.) in fact, reverting this part of the patch would be a good idea. we're defining input element names here, not fragment identifiers.

Since "id" is XHTML's replacement for the deprecated HTML "name" attribute, the usual method for making markup backward-compatible is to use both "name" and "id" attributes, giving the same value for both. For example: <input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" id="PHPSESSID" value="25ba3c5303803bb6914edff4d787b430" /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-24 21:05:22] sniper@php.net This is the output with PHP 4.2.0: ---clip--- <form method="get"><input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="25ba3c5303803bb6914edff4d787b430" /> See hidden input<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Test" /> </form> <a href="/ses.php?foo=bar&amp;PHPSESSID=25ba3c5303803bb6914edff4d787b430">See new href</a> ---clip--- Which part is not valid XHTML? I have this set in my php.ini: ; The separator used in PHP generated URLs to separate arguments. ; Default is "&". arg_separator.output = "&amp;" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-24 20:48:38] email@cczona.com A simple example script: <?php session_start(); echo<<<EOF <form method="get"> See hidden input<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Test" /> </form> <a href="$PHP_SELF?foo=bar">See new href</a> EOF; ?> The url_rewriter.tags value: a=href,area=href,frame=src,form=fakeentry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-24 20:21:51] sniper@php.net Please add short script which can be used to reproduce this and also your url_rewriter.tags line from your php.ini ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
