PHP general about using '&amp;'

PHP general about using '&'

sateeshsv

ex:
Mypage.htm

mypage.php
<?php
print($tname);
?>

In mypage.php the value 'Electrical & Electronics' should be displayed. but i am getting the value of $tname as 'Electrical'.

I would use "and" instead of "&".
PHP is looking for another variable after the & symbol, that is why it isnt displaying correctly for you.

mypage.php?tname=Electrical%20and%20Electronics

Would be correct.

Your url is being interpreted as
tname=Electrical
&
Electronics=

Your url is being interpreted as
tname=Electrical
&
Electronics=

This would be the case there there were no spaces on either side of "&". In the example the URL is being cut off at tname=Electrical. The easiest method is to use the urlencode() function.

Hi,
U should first urlencode the string, and then pass it as a value.
