note 82552 added to function.header

Here is my explanation of why a URL given to the browser in the header does not have &amp; :- The &amp is required in the HTML presented to the browser, the header creates a URL which is outside the HTML and therefore is passed directly to the browser without being interpreted as HTML. Which means there are three kinds of slightly different addresses in PHP:- 1. Internal file system addresses like e.g. include ('/home/public/www.example.com/order.php') 2. HTML (&='&amp;') e.g. <a href="http://www.example.com/order.php?qty=12&amp;item=nuts">link</a> 3. Header redirect URL (&='&') e.g. header('location: http://www.example.com/order.php?qty=12&item=nuts'); ---- Server IP: 87.124.64.96 Probable Submitter: 88.110.16.125 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82552 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82552/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82552/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82552/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82552/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82552/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82552/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82552 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82552 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
