According to what I've read elsewhere in this thread, nobody is 
proposing bad URIs at all.  The proposal is to create URIs which 
conform to the standard.  A switch could easily be added so that either 
semicolons or ampersands are produced.

My understanding is that htdig does not have a php wrapper script. 
There is a guide pointing to an [outdated] article on DevShed. I used 
that to get started.  From what I've been reading, everyone seems to 
create their wrapper script.  If that's not true, then the rest of my post is 
not important.

My objective with my current php wrapper is to make something which 
is of sufficient quality that it can become the php wrapper script for 
htdig.  Anyone wanting to use htdig from within php will only have to set 
a few configuration items and go use it.

My thinking is: if I need it, someone else does too.  And if we can get 
something which is useful to everyone on the project.

For those interested in helping out, see the thread titled "completing a 
php wrapper".  The work in progress can be viewed at 
http://diary.unixathome.org/htdig/results.php and the code is at
http://diary.unixathome.org/htdig/results.php.txt

The next step is to take the incoming parameters from 
$QUERY_STRING, split them, and feed them into the call to htdig.sh 
(see #2 listed below).  Someone else has already posted their code to 
me and I'll be incorporating this ASAP.

If anyone has suggestions for the script, don't hold back.
