OK, on my quest to get one PHP site that is actually valid XHTML 1.0
(strict)...
PHP 4.3.8: session.use_trans_sid=1
What is happening is the validator (that doesn't use cookies) sees
things like the following in the source (which are put in there from the
use_trans_sid setting after script execution):
....
<a href="/statistics/?PHPSESSID=1423fa4c27d130ea743ffd9912f60de4">
....
Which throws errors like:
Line 48, column 139: document type does not allow element "input" here;
missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre",
"address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag
and
Line 66, column 194: cannot generate system identifier for general
entity "PHPSESSID"
Anyone have any hints or pointers to correct this?

Justin, I haven't tested this and something simply off the top of my
head.. have you tried making your HTML something like:
<form ...><div>
[ form elements here ]
</div></form>
I don't know what routine PHP uses when inserting the session ID into a
form area other than it appears to add it to a newline under the <form>
initiation line. Hoping that it kind of "ignores" the <div> after <form>,
it'll end up dumping the hidden element into the <div> area which will
allow for valid XHTML (<form> is not a container etc etc)
It may be that, PHP actually checks for the entire <form...> tag and
inserts the hidden field directly after it inwhich case the above idea
would obviously fail, but it's something I'd try myself if you haven't
already. Would be interested to hear the results of this if you do try it =)
Regards,
Ian

It is. Everything about the page is valid, except when useing trans-sid.
I turned it off to be sure...

Nope. PHP replaces '<form ...>' with '<form ...><input... />' - even if
there is a DIV element after the FORM start tag.
It's not just the form elements... In anchor tags, if you have something
like:
<a href="/?group=3">group 3</a>
it's changed to:
<a href="/?group=3&PHPSESSID=djf8fdjrigkv7eru4i4ei8h3r9f5n"> group 3</a>
It uses "&" instead of "&", and since it's done *after* script
execution, there isn't a way to simply do a preg_replace on the output
buffer. :\

Just set arg_separator.output correctly and you're sorted.

I tried inserting that <a> tag in my own XHTML Strict pages and they still
validated fine.
What I'm guessing is that it isn't the "/statistics/?PHPSESSID=..." links
it's complaining about, but those where there are extra GET variables like
"/statistics/?id=4&PHPSESSID=..." where the validator would try to make
PHPSESSID into an html entity and fail.
Do you have a URI we could look at?

Not hard. Mine validates to XHTML 1.1 Strict and with a change of doctype
most pages also validate to XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.0 Basic. If a
dolt like me can do it, I'm sure you can.
Line 48, column 139: document type does not allow element "input" here;

"address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag
You've probably done something like:
<form><input/></form>
You need something nested between the <form> and <input> elements -- some
kind of block element. For example:
<form><fieldset><input/></fieldset></form>
Line 66, column 194: cannot generate system identifier for general
entity "PHPSESSID"
You have a URL with an '&' sign in it. Replace the '&' with '&'.
Both of these are errors in HTML 4.01 too -- it's not just XHTML that's
causing you problems.

GREAT! (I knew there had to be something for that one...)

Not that I can publish here... However, this part has been corrected now
with the setting of arg_separator.output to "&" via .htaccess.

You have a URL with an '&' sign in it. Replace the '&' with '&'.
Solved by setting arg_separator.output to "&"... it was PHP, not the
code (that validates just fine).

Good to hear the anchor side of things is sorted Justin.. but the above is
a little of a bitch =\ Other than Tim's suggestion of reading the bugs DB,
not sure what to offer as a solution (I haven't read the bugs DB regarding
this either..... yet =) ).

OK, the form's hidden input part of the problem (from my .htaccess file):
php_value url_rewriter.tags
"a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,fieldset=fak eentry"
The anchor tag part:
php_value arg_separator.output "&"
