Html::a() - encode bad behaviour

[Heddy147]

Hi,

if I use the function a() of Html, there is a bad behaviour.
Accepted I use it so:
Html::a('Foobar', ['foo', 'bar' => 'rofl', 'lol' => 'wtf'])

The assumed value for the href-attribute of the anchor-tag is "mydomain.com/foo?bar=rolf&lol=wtf".
I get "mydomain.com/foo?bar=rolf&lol=wtf".

The same issue if I use pagination.

Hope I have a mistake.

What do you mean? Both assumed and actual URLs are the same? What's wrong with that?

[Heddy147]

Sorry, GitHub recognize & a m p ; and convert it to &.
So i get "mydomain.com/foo?bar=rolf&lol=wtf"

Now Yii says me that one parameter is missing: "lol"

[samdark]

Do you get it in URL after clicking it or in HTML? In HTML that's correct encoding of an attribute.

[Heddy147]

Yeah,
in HTML it's correct.

I get it in URL after clicking.

Can't reproduce.

• Take basic project template.
• In config set up urlManager to use clean URLs:

'urlManager' => [
    'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
    'showScriptName' => false,
    'rules' => [
    ],
],

• In views/site/index.php add <?= Html::a('Foobar', ['site/index', 'bar' => 'rofl', 'lol' => 'wtf']) ?>.
• Click the link at the front page.

It opens http://yii2-basic.local/site/index?bar=rofl&lol=wtf as expected.

I have reproduced. Browser opens correct URL, but the HTML contains & instead of &

<a href="http://yii2-basic.local/site/index?bar=rofl&amp;lol=wtf">Foobar</a>

@samdark, try to open view-source:http://yii2-basic.local/site/index.php and find your link.

I think that different browsers can have different behavior for this case, so we need to fix the bug

[samdark]

Yes but this is exactly what's expected. & is within HTML attribute and should be encoded.

[SilverFire]

@samdark hm, you're right. Sorry, that was my bad.

@Heddy147 what browser did you used, when got Yii error "one parameter is missing: lol"?

[Heddy147]

@SilverFire
I used Firefox Version 40.
What did I wrong? I get this error too if I use the GridView widget with the pagination.

[SilverFire]

Could you, please, provide full code for that column in GridView?
