Pass a variable

hi, i want to pass a variable using trough the url, burt the problem is that the variable has an &.

my_var='f&g';
so, when i use get to recover it, i only see the f

what can i do to have the & in my variable???

thank you

 

my_var=f%26g

If you went to google and searched for & , you would see the url encoding in the url....see the q=%26 ?
Easy way to get the url encoding.

Code (markup):

 

$my_var = urlencode($my_var);

echo $my_var; // So you can see.

PHP:

echo str_replace('my_var=','',$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);

PHP:

Peace,
