Bug &amp;amp;amp;amp;

I need help to fix a bug that causes a repetition of &amp;amp;amp;amp; in links.

The links are added via admin area and the site used MYSql database.

Link should be: www.mycompany.com/?page=contact-feedback&enquiry=Locate but its renderd as www.mycompany.com/?page=contact-feedback&amp;amp;amp;amp;enquiry=Locate and the ;amp increases when i update the links

Please help to fix this, i'm not advance in PHP.

Thanks

Code attached.

it should be "&" for all of them not "amp;"
there lies your problem

copy and paste the code if you want someone to look at it

But it sounds like the ampersands are being escaped for HTML both when the link goes into the database (which is unnecessary) and when it's being taken out.

That's exactly what IS happening. I've had this issue with some software used by our company (written by someone else, [thank you, Jesus!]).

IIRC, What I did was write some code that first replaced "&" with a unique string, then replaced all occurrences of "amp;" with a null string, and then converted the unique string back to the correct HTML entity ("&")...

Incidentally, is this some type of advertising software that's doing this to you?
