hic, I mean that how they can use the ; "symbol" instead of & in their URL
you know, when we "transfer" variableS we usually use & to transfer both of them, but in this case they use ;

I hope you will understand my poor English :d

& is the defualt in PHP, but you can change it to whatever you want if you have full control of the server. But the standard for parsing variables is &

[senocular]

& is the standard for an HTML query string (standard MIME format application/x-www-form-urlencoded), not necessarily PHP specifically ;). In the case of that link, you just get one variable equaling

thread;threadid=52

That variable can then be interpretted any way you wish - split by ';' characters or however you want all depending on whatever backend you write to support it.

right !
I think they use explode then they use array to get each variable. and I test, it's worked! congratualate me !
