parsing an ampersand via _REQUEST

Recommended Posts

Hi :)

 

I am trying to send a company name to a form for users to report errors.

echo "<a href=\"http://www.example.com/suppliers.php?companyName=$compName\">$compName</a>";

 

 

In the form, I have the usual code which I use to fill in the value of a field...

$companyName = $_REQUEST['companyName'];

 

This works fine - except if there is an ampersand in the name.

 

A & B Products...., becomes just A

 

I have tried htmlentitles to convert to & but the problem still exists.

 

Any thoughts on how I could correct this?

Thanks :)
