Howlin1 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Hello, Say I have a url http://www.somedomain.com/abc/view.php?id=Mountain--troll---D&D--2- And "Mountain troll -D&D 2-" is an entry in a database with information. The problem that I am having is since I have an ampersand in the url it is being treated as two different strings (Mountain troll -D being one and 2- being the second). I know I can solve the problem by just not using an ampersand in the database entry name, but for arguments sakes lets say I can't remove it. Would it be possible for it to be treated as one long string ignoring the ampersand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkfire Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Howlin1, use the handy urlencode() function: echo urlencode('Mountain--troll---D&D--2-'); // Mountain--troll---D%26D--2- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
