Ampersand in database record will not work

After looking at it more, I think it's a Javascript issue. Here's the Javascript and PHP...

 

Javascript:

function reload(form)
{
var val=form.cat.options[form.cat.options.selectedIndex].value;
self.location='sell-iphone.php?cat=' + val ;
}

 

PHP:

<?php
@$cat=$_GET['cat']; // Use this line or below line if register_global is off
if(strlen($cat) < 0){ // to check if $cat is numeric data or not.
echo "Data Error";
exit;
}
?>

Yep, that would be it. Imagine what the URL looks like:

sell-iphone.php?cat=AT&T

so $_GET["cat"] = "AT" and $_GET["T"] = something.

 

Does the form have more than the "cat"? If not then just make the form action=sell-iphone.php and method=get then you can

<select ... onchange="this.form.submit();">

 

Otherwise encodeURIComponent can escape the val and make it safe for the URL.
