[SOLVED] Ampersands on Pagination in Dreamweaver XHTML Validating Issue

[rostros]

Hi Guys , having a little trouble getting this code through W3 XHTML Validation , Im using a Dreamweaver Pagination extension which I know using extensions is bad but this is a big project. Im familar with the concept of using & rather than & but it appears it still does't work. Anyway here is the code.

 

-

PHP Code / Variable

 

$queryString_tbl_dealer_vehicles = "";
if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $params = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
  $newParams = array();
  foreach ($params as $param) {
    if (stristr($param, "pageNum_tbl_dealer_vehicles") == false && 
        stristr($param, "totalRows_tbl_dealer_vehicles") == false) {
      array_push($newParams, $param);
    }
  }
  if (count($newParams) != 0) {
    $queryString_tbl_dealer_vehicles = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));
  }
}
$queryString_tbl_dealer_vehicles = sprintf("&totalRows_tbl_dealer_vehicles=%d%s", $totalRows_tbl_dealer_vehicles, $queryString_tbl_dealer_vehicles);

 

 

 

XHTML Page Code

 

            <?php
for ($i=0; $i <= $totalPages_tbl_dealer_vehicles; $i++) {
  $TFM_PagesEndCount = $i + 1;
  if($i != $pageNum_tbl_dealer_vehicles) {
    printf('<a href="'."%s?pageNum_tbl_dealer_vehicles=%d%s", $currentPage, $i, $queryString_tbl_dealer_vehicles.'">'.$TFM_PagesEndCount."</a>");
  }else{
    echo(" [<strong>$TFM_PagesEndCount</strong>] ");
  }
  if($i != $totalPages_tbl_dealer_vehicles) echo("");
}
?>

 

XHTML Error

 

cannot generate system identifier for general entity "totalRows_tbl_dealer_vehicles"

…x.php?pageNum_tbl_dealer_vehicles=1&totalRows_tbl_dealer_vehicles=8">2</a> 

 

--

 

It looks like the %s is the part where I need the & but this just gives more errors ? I hope someone can help me as I dont really want to code this site as non xhtml compliant.

 

 

Thanks

Okay quick fix managed to validate the code , if anybody is using Dreamweaver and you get the same problem just replace

 

$queryString_tbl_dealer_vehicles = sprintf("&totalRows_tbl_dealer_vehicles=%d%s", $totalRows_tbl_dealer_vehicles, $queryString_tbl_dealer_vehicles);

 

With

 

Remove the &totalRows and replace it with "&" . totalRows_

 

$queryString_tbl_dealer_vehicles = sprintf("&" . "totalRows_tbl_dealer_vehicles=%d%s", $totalRows_tbl_dealer_vehicles, $queryString_tbl_dealer_vehicles);
