note 50341 added to function.header

Warning about Query strings in header: Location. Normally, when using ampersands in a query string, '&' is wrong, and '&amp;' is right. [see http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp ] Eg: This is the correct way to write a link: <a href="http://example.com/index.php?foo=bar&amp;baz=wombat">link</a> BUT, when writing a redirect, the exact reverse seems to be true. The following is wrong (It doesn't work in either Mozilla or Konqueror - in both cases, the value of baz is not set): $redirect_location = 'http://example.com/index.php?foo=bar&amp;baz=wombat'; header("Location: $redirect_location"); In this case, it seems as though '&' is necessary. I'm fairly sure of this, through experiment, but I don't know why it should be true. It seems a bit perverse! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50341 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50341&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50341&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50341&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50341&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50341&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50341&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
