PHP && GET method.. using special character &

[newyear498]

I need to pass info to a php script via link while ignoring the character '&' for example:

mywebsite.com/myphp.php?info=thisInformation&thecharacter&

 

is there anyway I can tell php to ignore the character '&' and just read it as text (cause

I understand its a special character..

maybe something like in XML you can ignore the character & by using <![CDATA[ ]]>

 

thanks!!! much appreciated!!!

 

 

PS: this is a must.. since in the end I am passing links.. and urls.. that are like amazon.com/blah&blah

You can encode it before you pass it...

 

$data = http://example.com/?foo=bar&bar=foo

urlencode($data);
