Hi Ian,

So is it an nginx (or php-fpm?) bug that the value of 'y' shows as 2 instead of '2;3'?

Hi all,

I have a URL of the form: /abc?x=1&y=2;3. The nginx server passes the request to php-fpm thread. When I try to query for the value of 'y' I get '2' instead of '2;3'. Is this expected? Are semicolons somehow considered to be query delimiters?

Hi Ankur,

There is no standard for delimiter, only common practise. You can use what you like.

The W3C has been recommending semicolon as a delimiter since 1994 or so.

That said, sending '&amp;' so that it comes back as '&' is common, correct, conforms to standards and expected by users and search engines.
