Howdy,
This may be a tad off topic, but it is related to how php deals with
building the $_GET superglobal w/ query string vars.
According to the W3C HTML validator, it is illegal to build a query
string for a url such as
foo.php?bar=1&myvar=2
^^^^^^^^
They say you HAVE to use
foo.php?bar=1&myvar=2
^^^^^^^^^^^^
in php's case it builds
$_GET["bar"] = 1;
$_GET["amp;myvar"] = 2;
I don't know of ANYONE on the planet that builds query string vars in
this way. Unless you do, your html pages will not validate through the
W3C validator.
The official W3c spec explanation is at
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp
I think changing this could potentially break many sites.
Does anyone know what other web languages do with &myvar=2 ?
I think the W3C validator is broken/wrong in this respect, and wanted to
know what other folks think about it.
