Hi all
This should be simple, but for the life of me...
I've got a MySQL db and am running PHP. I'm trying to get a link like:
<a href="results?q=D&T">D&T</a>
to pull the required link from my db (the term it should select is D&T).
I've tried encoding that first & in the URL with htmlspecialchars,
urlencode, htmlentities, but to no avail. I've also tried not encoding
it. I've tried changing the entry into the db from D&T to D&T, but
that doesn't want to work either. If I echo out the $_GET, it only
wants to pass the "D" and nothing else, unless I use urlencode which
gives me D&T but doesn't get the result from the db (I get nothing as
opposed to the wrong record).
What's the correct way to encode that sucker?!
Regards
Francis
