[RESOLVED] Session & HTML Validation

[thekidscareya]

I'm validating all my php pages using the HTML validator from w3. I have session_start() at the beginning of all my pages.

The problem is that PHP takes a link that I wrote:

<a href="index.php?page=this">Home</a>

and it makes it this:

<a href="index.php?page=this&PHPSESSID=6e2a0d272188ff821851f3e1ef334e">Home</a>

According to this article I should replace all & with &. However, I can't do this because PHP automatically puts in &PHPSESSID.... in the link.

How do I fix this? Thanks for all your help in advance. I really appreciate it.

You can define what it uses with arg_separator and ini_set - see these pages for tips

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.arg-separator.output
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

EDIT: might as well include an example

ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');

Thanks for your help.

I forgot the semicolon in the original example - I've just edited it it.
