Shouldn't the solution be that the parser uses '&' *and* arg_separator when
arg_separotor is not '&'? In that way the default behaviour of php is
unchanged.

You are right. The following php script:

b=$b";
?>

  
  
  


with arg_separator set to ";" in php.ini produces

a=1&b=2
b=

It is clear that documentation in php.ini is wrong, arg_separator is not
only used for generation but also for parsing of arguments (4.0.4pl1).

Exactly. And that's why if you change the arg_separator to ";"
those forms didn't work (before my patch).

I actually didn't test it though so I'm not 100% sure.
Could someone check it out with 4.0.4pl1?

Urls that are the result of a submitted form are generated by the browser
and not php, and I don't know of a browser that will use anything other that
'&' for that.
