Description:
------------
The second example included in the section `security.errors' ("Error Reporting"), goes something like this:

  <form method="POST" action="attacktarget?errors=Y&amp;showerrors=1"&debug=1">
  <input type="hidden" name="errors" value="Y">
  <input type="hidden" name="showerrors" value="1">
  <input type="hidden" name="debug" value="1">
  </form>


There's a couple of errors in the `form' tag: (a) the `&amp;' entity shouldn't be there, and (b) there is one `"' too many.

Thanks.

Actually for XHTML/HTML Conformance, that first &amp; *should* be an &amp; and so should the the second &. 

Which brings about the question, should we start to change things like this to bring examples upto standards compliant (X)HTML? Has the decision been made whether HTML in the manual should be HTML or XHTML yet?

He is right about the extraneous " after the 1 though.

I have fixed the error (b) in CVS, the bug is closed now.

+1 for a XHTML compliant documentation, but this shuold be discussed on phpdocs@lists.php.net, not in a bug report ;)

Erm, using &amp; and & interchangeably in URLs is not a solution. That page should either use & or &amp; for every URL parameter. IMHO the later would be good.

I added the XHTML entity for the ampersand in the example, as i also think an XHTML compatible doc makes sense.

I'm setting this bug-status to closed, altough this contributes to an inconsistent manual.
