lemmin Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 It should send the value with %26 for ampersand. You should be able to get it with the $_GET or $_POST arrays.

lemmin Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 So the URL is not created by user submitted data? If that is the case, you just need to replace the "&" in your code that prints the link with "&".

lemmin Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Is that not implementable the way you are doing it? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/66016-symbol-can-not-be-accessed-thru-_request/#findComment-330171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
