Hi everyone I have a bit if an issue with some PHP i;ve been playing with. The following code is working fine to delete data from the database if (isset($_GET['p'])){ $namecheck = mysql_query("SELECT `name` FROM `store` WHERE `name` = '".$_GET["p"]." '"); $count = mysql_num_rows($namecheck); if ($count !== 0){ if ($_GET['sure'] === '1'){ mysql_query("DELETE FROM `store` WHERE `name` = '".$_GET["p"]."' LIMIT 1"); }else{ echo '<font size="2" color="#ff0000">Are you sure you want to delete this retailer? <a href="deleteretailer.php?p='.$_GET['p'].'&sure=1">Yes</a> or <a href="deleteretailer.php">No</a></font>'; } } } However if the name contains a & character such as A & B Engineering the echo message doesn't show and I can't delete the data from the database. Is the & character causing an issue as it only seems to affect those names containing it. Thanks B
