When I ran my page through the HTML validator of de http://www.w3c.org/ I ran into the following:
PHP sometimes adds &PHPSESSID=bladiebla to urls in my page.
However the use of the & is not valid according to w3c.org, I should use & instead.

& is a variable separator in URL and as such, is a valid URL
character.

You may use arg_separator INI entry, like this:

arg_separator = "&"

Reopened, as the arg_separator directive is missing from
php.ini-dist / optimized and using '&' with it
does not work as the variable values get chopped.

Test script (shortest possible ;)

test.php:
<?php phpinfo();?>

And as url use something like this:

test.php?test1=12345&abcd=12345&aaa=bbbbb

BUT using ';' with arg_separator works fine
which is (AFAIK) valid too.

And one more thing:

When using transsids, ';' works fine, but when
'&amp;' is used, only '&' is taken of it..

Fixed in CVS. Thanks for your report!
