[osusano]

No offence intended here, but please use punctuation. Please also restate your question, as I didn't quite understand.

basically its like this <a href='locate.php?value=test & test1'>test & test</a>

i want that to search that value in the database but it only search the test excluding the test1

Ah, yes. Those are split by PHP when they are turned into variables. Currently, this means value=test and test1=boolean TRUE (isset will recognize it).
You'll have to use $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] to break that apart. However, your browser should translate that ampersand into "%26", which will be translated by your HTTP server back into an ampersand.

Try using both methods.
