ampersands in generated URIs - can't validate

jimlongo

The way I read the following apache page

i should be able to put this line
php_value arg_separator.output &
in an .htaccess file, so that all the ampersands in URIs generated by php are converted
to &

It's not working for me yet 😕 Can someone tell me what I've done wrong?

Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) PHP/4.3.11

TIA, jim

Or, you can set it via PHP:

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

Apache does it on a per-directory basis with the use of .htaccess.

So i put an .htaccess file in the root directory and my php_info reads

Directive Local Value Master Value
arg_separator.output & &

so i assume it's in operation.

But if not logged in i still get URIs like the following . . .

<link rel="forum chapter" href="http://www.mysite.com/forum/index.php?
ict_ict=19e22ae31c72448009a8ddc4bca9f145&a=cat&amp;c=19" title="Club Information" >

notice there is one ampersand unencoded and the next one encoded ????

I don't know what to tell you. It should work.

Thanks,

What does this line mean??

Directive Local Value Master Value
arg_separator.input & &

I tried changing that and it pretty much broke everything.
