sending an ampersand("&") in an url

[sqoti]

Can someone give me the syntax for sending an ampersand symbol as a variable in a URL.

Example

http://www.whatever.com?name="tom&shirley".

I thought maybe this would work

http://www.whatever.com?name="tom&ampshirley".

but it did not like it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi mate,

Have you tried

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.whatever.com?name=tom&shirley[/URL]

Doing it that way should work..

Hope this helps Wullie

That would most likely cause an error. Try using %26 (the ASCII hexadecimal value for ampersand) instead to replace all ampersands in your url.

http://www.whatever.com?name=tom&shirley

I hope this helps. Gary
