Trying to answer a couple of mails here...
How exactly are you tacking the SID onto the end of these URLs? If it's done by php automatically then you shouldn't be having problems at all at the xhtml level, if you're doing it manually - then manually add &SID=$wherever_sid_is_stored onto the urls.
php adds the SID automatically so I have no control over that part of the url... for all other params i use & manually.
Otherwise, take a look at this php.ini option -> ; The separator used in PHP generated URLs to separate arguments. ; Default is "&". ;arg_separator.output = "&"
I would do that if I had control over the server... but I don't get to say what the ISP can do or not... That might change in the future but right now I'm stuck with them...
There is no REAL problem, since all pages displays nicly in all browsers I've checked... the problem is that I in _one_ place put a "valid xhtml" banner with a direct link to w3's xhtml validator... not so nice when it turns out that it's not valid xhtml after all...
I guess I will have to add the sid manually... I've never bothered doing it that way before, so I guess I'll have to dig trough the php manual again... ;)
thanks for your help!

Section 3.3 of that rfc indicates that ; is reserved in URLs - so I'm guessing there's another solution.
Obviously you can wrap all your URLs up in a nice CDATA structure - but that seems ridiculous.
A quick googling perusal confirms what I expected: http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200101/msg00510.html
"The XML that you see in a file is just a *serialisation* of a node tree. In the node tree, entity references are substituted for whatever they reference."
Which means either the browser should automagically translate the & - or it should otherwise be translated before the page is rendered. How exactly are you tacking the SID onto the end of these URLs? If it's done by php automatically then you shouldn't be having problems at all at the xhtml level, if you're doing it manually - then manually add &SID=$wherever_sid_is_stored onto the urls.
Of course, I'm probably oversimplifying a problem you've fought hours on, so all I can say is I hope the link and its thread shines some light.

well... in xhtml you HAVE to write & in urls... if I can't do that whats the point in trying to use xhtml, when it won't work with php anyway?
