Re: [PHP] w3c-compliant form-action parameters

[Nathan Taylor]

This problem should be handled by modifying the php.ini.  In my experience W3C is a 
whiney bitch that always gets it's way. Just throw this code on all your pages (or 
better yet, in a header) and the problem will go away.

// The communists at W3C don't like the ampersand, so let's make sure it isn't used.
ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');

Cheers,
Nathan Taylor

  I agree with Chris. This is not a browser problem.

  However, there is a php.ini setting that will allow you to set the 
  separator for get requests, but I suggest you investigate this problem 
  further.
