PHP 4.0 Bug #8274 Updated: PHP not w3c compliant

ID: 8274 Updated by: sniper Reported By: klaasb@abrh.nl Status: Open Bug Type: *Session related Assigned To: Comments: And one more thing: When using transsids, ';' works fine, but when '&amp;' is used, only '&' is taken of it.. --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-18 05:20:58] sniper@php.net Reopened, as the arg_separator directive is missing from php.ini-dist / optimized and using '&amp;' with it does not work as the variable values get chopped. Test script (shortest possible ;) test.php: <?php phpinfo();?> And as url use something like this: test.php?test1=12345&abcd=12345&aaa=bbbbb BUT using ';' with arg_separator works fine which is (AFAIK) valid too. --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-18 04:58:20] stas@php.net You may use arg_separator INI entry, like this: arg_separator = "&amp;" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-17 10:34:07] stas@php.net & is a variable separator in URL and as such, is a valid URL character. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-15 08:09:50] klaasb@abrh.nl When I ran my page through the HTML validator of de http://www.w3c.org/ I ran into the following: PHP sometimes adds &PHPSESSID=bladiebla to urls in my page. However the use of the & is not valid according to w3c.org, I should use &amp; instead. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8274
