According to the w3c validation program;
A URL for a CGI program that uses `&' as a separator, such as
"http://host/prog?x=1&y=2". This is a
common problem: the inventors of CGI
didn't think things through very carefully when they decided to use the '&'
character as a separator between CGI arguments, because '&' has special
status in HTML. One way to get around this is for the author of the CGI
program to use a different value between arguments, like ';' or '|', which
would allow the link to be coded as <img
src="http://site/cgi?opt1=val1;opt2=val2">
or whatever.
I know that php 4.0.5 has a new ini directive for this, is there any way to
change this on older versions of PHP?
Thanks,
DAve
