wildteen88 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 This function allows developers to preserve xHTML compliance when PHP generates URLs.[code]<a href="http://www.site.com/page.php?arg1=foo&arg2=bar">Foobar</a>[/code]If you didn't tell PHP to use & amp; (with out the space) in the url as the seperator your page will fail to validate as xHTML compliance with the w3C HTML Validator.Hope that clears up what that setting does.

AndyB Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 It'll convert any ampersands in sessionID links to their & amp; format - and then you'll be able to get pages to validate to the xHTML standard.'quick reply' wasn't quick enough [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/unsure.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":unsure:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"unsure.gif\" /] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/10276-can-someone-explain-what-this-does-ini_setarg_separatoroutput-amp/#findComment-38281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojito Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 thanks to both of you, i didnt know url encoding didnt happen automatic. If I understand corectly- it encodes the "&" symbol to url friendly format.

wildteen88 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 basically yeah. It will only do that when PHP generates a URL, such as when it appends the sessionid onto a url Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/10276-can-someone-explain-what-this-does-ini_setarg_separatoroutput-amp/#findComment-38315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
