use semicolons in php url for $_GET instead of ampersand

I know how to use the &'s in the php url for get variables and such, but how do i use semicolons instead of the and symbol? just wondering, cuz it looks cooler

It's also better, because if you use ampersands it breaks xhtml compatibility so you have to use & instead.
Do you want to use it in SMF, or elsewhere?

My Live Site will accept it in urls even when not in SMF. Didn't have to set a thing. My test site I had to set this in the php.ini

Code Select Expand

arg_separator.input = "&;"
arg_separator.output = "&;"

But you could just use a function to get the query string, Break it up and format it properly.

yeah, you're right, that just came to me, i have to use & every time in XHTML.
I want to use it outside of SMF but it "inspired" me to want to use it =)
