PHP Ajax Echo Anchor Tag Ampersand Issues

[jockey_jockey]

Hello,

 

I have an XSL file and I am firing an Ajax call from a link that would do a GET request to the PHP script and it would return a string that basically holds a snippet of HTML and as I get back the response, the Ajax callback would manipulate an exisiting section of the HTML with the response just received.

 

Its working fine except that I am printing anchor tags which is a GET request to some script. The problem is that the "Ampersand" is not correctly passed on to the XHTML page.

 

Snippets are below:

 

Script that creates the string and echoes on the server side:Snippet:

 

$print .= "<td>";

$print .= "<a href='" . "main.php?page=config_detail" . "&" . "app=" . $_GET['app'] . "&" . "config=" . $config_id_ex[$x]. "'>" .$config_name_ex[$x]. "</a>";

$print .= "</td>";

 

Link that is actually present on the XHTML file after the AJAX is executed is:

 

http://localhost/main.php?page=config_detail&#38;app=26&%2338;config=1000

 

But I want it to be "&".

 

Please help,
