"&" character through "get"

[bernard]

Hi,
Here is my link :<a href="popup.php?type=bracelets&image=106-e.jpg&description=Turquoise, malachite, horlite & fresh water pearls ">

I want the "&" in description to be recognized as text and not as a variable separator. I tried htmlentities("&") but I can't get the &amp in my rsult page.
The only thing that I have is "Turquoise, malachite, horlite ".

Is there a solution ?

Thanks

Bernard

The ampersands that are separators should be included as &amp;. The ampersands that are characters should be included as %26, which is the ASCII value in hexadecimal. The urlencode function will do the latter for you.

I just want to express my thanks to mwinter!

I had a similar problem before and now I found out (and learned) how to fix it.
