The use of ampersand in calling php script

[ikel]

What is the difference between "&" and "?" in
http://www.website.com/count.php&sessionid=myid
and
http://www.website.com/count.php?sessionid=myid

Thanks,

Well, for as far as I know the ? indicates the start of a query string, while & indicates the start of a new key/value pair inside that query string. E.g.:

website.com?key=value&key2=value2&this=that

The ? indicates the start, the & separates the key/value pairs.

You're right! I just tried to search for a string in php.net website. My address bar changed to: http://us3.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=setting+session&lang=en&scope=quickref

It seems that ? indicate beginning of a search and & is used to separate key/value pairs.

Thanks.
