replacing & with &

If I have a URL in say $rss_item['LINK'] and I want to replace the & with & how would I do that in php?

 

str_replace will do that.

You can find more info here. www.php.net/str_replace

 

so it would be this?

$rss_item['LINK'] = str_replace("&","&",$rss_item['LINK']);

 

Yes that would be the correct usage.

 

you can use the function urlencode, its built specifically for this

 

Serial, can you provide a link with more info?

 

here you go mate

Thank you, will check this out. Is there one that can replace " " with %20? I did it, but the html reads it as a %20 and not a space. Oh, and I did the space replace with str_replace

That may help you, too.

well, it actually does replace a space with %20 but if you want to output it back as a space you might consider urldecode which converts it back, anyways you can check out the manual for the complete details, hope it helps you

 

$str=$rss_item['LINK'];
$str=str_replace("&","&",$str);
