Description:
------------
I created a Suckerfish Dropdown Menu via XSLT, which contains empty 
anchor elements (<a href="?"/>). If Cookies are disabled the Session 
ID should be appended at the end of the href attribute value (URL) but 
it is appended after the closing slash of the element, rendering the 
XHTML invalid.

However, "normal" hyperlinks (<a href="?">link text</a>) are not 
affected.


Configure Command:
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php5' '--with-config-file-
path=/etc/php5' '--with-openssl' '--with-xsl' '--with-xmlrpc' '--
enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbregex' '--enable-wddx' '--with-
gettext=/usr' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-
mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/lib64/' 
'--with-apache=../apache_current/' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local' '-
-with-t1lib=/usr/local' '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-
jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--enable-exif' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib' 
'--with-zlib' '--with-curl' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--
enable-discard-path' '--enable-shared' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' 
'--with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--enable-soap'

Reproduce code:
---------------
<a href="site.php?id=this"/>

Expected result:
----------------
<a href="site.php?id=this&amp;PHPSESSID=3d?d4"/>

Actual result:
--------------
<a href="site.php?id=this"/&amp;PHPSESSID=3d?d4>

this can be worked around by adding another attribute after the href attribute:
<a href="site.php?id=this" title="currently"/>

This is ext/standard/url_scanner_ex.re bug. This can be checked as follows

$ ./sapi/cgi/php-cgi -d session.use_trans_sid=1 -d session.use_only_cookies=0
<?php
session_start();
?>

<a href="site.php?id=this" />   
<a href="site.php?id=this"/>
