This function allows developers to preserve xHTML compliance when PHP generates URLs.
[code]<a href="http://www.site.com/page.php?arg1=foo&amp;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.

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\" /]

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.

basically yeah. It will only do that when PHP generates a URL, such as when it appends the sessionid onto a url
