Bug #15075 Updated: non-breaking spaces are ignored

ID: 15075 Updated by: goba Reported By: bcourtney@midwestiso.org Status: Bogus Old Bug Type: Website problem Bug Type: URL related Operating System: Linux 6.2 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: & is used as a separator for variables in URLs. Treating &nbsp; as a space was a misfeature of PHP 3 if this worked with it. & is a delimiter. And this is not a php.net website problem at all. This is an "URL related" problem. -- Goba Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-17 16:06:13] bcourtney@midwestiso.org The &amp; doesn't work - IE and Netscape both do not recognize it. I tried &nbsp; and &amp; and &ampnbsp; Maybe there is something more that I need to do. Since this is being used as part of a variable value in PHP there must be something else. It worked before the upgrade. Any ideas are welcome ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-17 13:39:50] sander@php.net Use &amp; instead of & in href's (see urlencode/urldecode). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-16 17:14:14] bcourtney@midwestiso.org Just updated PHP from 3.0 to 4.1 but now it won't recognize the non-breaking space (&nbsp;) in passing a value to a variable. We are using this for a form and it enters the information into the form. We need the &nbsp; because our users use both Netscape and Internet Explorer. This worked before but doesn't work now. <A HREF ="../on_line_training_registration.html?course=How&nbsp;to&nbsp;Become&nbsp;a&nbsp;MISO&nbsp;Customer.&date=Oct.&nbsp;22,&nbsp;2001">To Register</A></TD> course is one variable and date is another Is there a reason that the non-breaking space would quit working. Thanks for any help! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15075&edit=1
