note 62736 deleted from function.http-build-query by hholzgra

Note Submitter: Colin Guthrie ---- @ xangelusx You said that "It is actually illegal to set arg_separator.output to & ("and amp ;") as every character is considered a seperator according to the documentation." I don't think this is correct. arg_separator.input maybe, but not the output. How can PHP encode my URLs (that is what this setting is used for, e.g. on URL rewriting etc.) with more than one separator? It doesn't make sence for that variable. I have personally used & as a separate for output for years in order to create valid XHTML output via PHP. I long ago wrote a function to do this for me, but depending on where I use the output, I sometimes want & and sometimes just a plain old & (think putting the value in a href="" versus using it in a Location: header). Unfortunatly, I can see no way to deprecate my function just yet, as this built in function is lacking that distinction (an optional argument would be perfect IMO)
