slight HTMLEncode problem...

[GIGN]

I have a database, over which I have no control. Some of the fields contain characters which are messing with my operation like "&" - which causing errors when used with URLEncoded strings.

It seems even if I HTMLEncode them before sending via GET, that the & is turned back into "&" for some reason.

I can get around it by doing double URLEncode, but then that messes up my display at the other end - I guess if there is some kind of conversion that undoes URLEncode?

Actually yes - is there something to URL-DE-code?

Have you tried entering the code for "&"?
Just like &quot;&lt;&quot; will produce <, and &quot;&gt;&quot; will produce >,
you can type &amp; to get &

If it doesn't work, let me know. -Ovatvvon :-Q

I am doing an URLEncode instead - then replacing the &quot;+&quot;'s later on.
