Question

This might sound like a stupid question but just trying to learn something here.
Whats the difference with adding a string parameter to the end of the url using & or ?

or
http://dd.bmpss.com/guide&id=63236

When I use & it breaks the loading of the page which is another issue but I just wanted to know what the advantages of using either symbol and what either symbol did.

Thanks,

The advantage of using ? over & is that it works.

? separates your query string from the rest of the URL, and & separates parameters inside your query string.

Probably you should read more about URLs.
