Sorry for being offtopic just to respond to such a relatively old comment, but in response to the comment posted by richard@zend.com (near the top), MSIE appearantly *isn't* breaking the HTML specification. "In SGML, it is possible to eliminate the final ';' after a character reference in some cases (e.g., at a line break or immediately before a tag). In other circumstances it may not be eliminated (e.g., in the middle of a word). We strongly suggest using the ';' in all cases to avoid problems with user agents that require this character to be present." -- http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#entities Therefore, it seems MSIE isn't technically doing anything wrong. It's probably a bad idea to be omitting the semicolon anyway, though. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rawurlencode.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+17583 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+17583 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+17583
