Re: Escaping from HTML / incompatibilities

Stan, thank you very much for your answer. ok, I cannot reproduce the problem as I carelessly played around without saving in between, but it may have been a netscape caching problem. Anyway: playing around I found that the trans-sid feature cannot handle this. These are code and outout of a simple test page (see output of 2nd <a>. ======== THE PAGE ======== <? class test { var $foo; var $bar; } if (!isset($t)) { $t = new test(); $t->foo=1; } //session_register("t"); //$t->foo++; ?> Counter is <? echo $t->foo ?> <? echo "<A HREF=\"" .$SCRIPT_NAME."\">Counter++</A>" ?> <A HREF="<? echo $SCRIPT_NAME ?>">Counter++</A> ====== OUTPUT ====== [bpeter@frws007 bpeter]$ lynx --source http://frws054:83/index.php Counter is 1<A HREF="/index.php?PHPSESSID=dd5ab0d0ccd55cca97769d85eb1103a9">Counter++</A> <A HREF="?PHPSESSID=dd5ab0d0ccd55cca97769d85eb1103a9"/index.php">Counter++</A> [bpeter@frws007 bpeter]$ But this is probably the wrong place for this...
