Actually, URL encoding is specifically used so that this won't work. It allows you to encode data in such a way that it can't possibly interfere with the structure of a URL. An ampersand is the proper separation character; the HTML entity is only needed within HTML to satisfy certain standards. When it comes to the URLs used in the HTTP transactions, the HTML entity will not be seen (unless the browser has made a serious error).

Re: [PHP] w3c-compliant form-action parameters
All this aside what about using the ASCII value of the & symbol. (I
think its ASCII).
You know how sometimes links with spaces in them are %20 instead of the
actual space? I'm not sure what it is but I am pretty sure there is a
%something for and ampersand symbol.
That may workif its not already been suggested.

I'm sorry, but that's about the most foolish post I've seen on this list, and
I've been around a long time. If you're going to ridicule a standards body like
the W3C, you should at least have some sort of valid reason, and even then a
little tact doesn't hurt. In addition, trying to throw in prejudice and
politics just makes things worse.
The arg_separator.output directive won't fix his problem. That just makes it so
that you can override PHP's default separator of & when it builds a URL for
whatever reason (trasparent session ID propogation, for example). His question
was regarding the fact that he had changed his own code to use & instead of
&. And, of course there is the fact that an HTTP header can't be used to set
php.ini directives, so that recommendation does no good.

This problem should be handled by modifying the php.ini. In my experience W3C is a
whiney bitch that always gets it's way. Just throw this code on all your pages (or
better yet, in a header) and the problem will go away.
// The communists at W3C don't like the ampersand, so let's make sure it isn't used.
ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');

I agree with Chris. This is not a browser problem.
However, there is a php.ini setting that will allow you to set the
separator for get requests, but I suggest you investigate this problem
further.

RE: [PHP] w3c-compliant form-action parameters
Hi, Timo. Why can't use use hidden fields instead of appending the values to the url? It would be the same to access them via $_GET['para1'] $_GET['para2] (unless you were using post as your method, in which case it would simply be $_POST['varname']) if they were on the url or in hidden fields. Why can't you make this switch? Also, have you tried using the % entity for ampersand (%26 if memory serves me correct) instead of & or the literal ampersand? So instead of mypage.php?para1=val1¶2=val2 you would use mypage.php?para1=val1%26para2=val2.

Re: [PHP] w3c-compliant form-action parameters
It breaks your server side scripts. & should be translated to & by the browser and never get to php. Timo Boettcher wrote: Hi, I am trying to get my pages through the w3c-validator for html.
