Description:
------------
Well. I guess that many forum administrators that allow html in posts have this problem.

I am using php 4.2.2, and i have a form who's contents can (and most frequently do) contain html tags like <a href="...">. This form is filled out in the administration portion of the site (which requires authentification and thus uses sessions). The problem is that, upon submission, PHP appends the PHPSESSID in the html tags contained in the body of the text fields, like:

<form>
<input type=text value="<a href=http://url>">
</form>

becomes

<form>
<input type=text value="<a href=http://url?PHPSESSID=1234565756..>">
</form>

Has this been fixed in later versions of PHP?

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- 
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.
