[lukeurtnowski]

how do I convert & to & in my output
like

$var = ding & dong;

print $var;
(would produce ding & dong when I view the source)

You might want to use the htmlentities() or htmlspecialchars() functions. If all you're worried about are ampersands,then you could use str_replace() or preg_replace().
