Ajax sending datastring error when a variable contains amparsand

Question

I am making a program to submit a form with Ajax By combining all values in variable datastring and sending it with ajax method..

suppose

var varname="ram";
var varage=18;

and var datastring='name='+varname+'&age='+varage;

This works well but

var varname="ram & shyam";
var varage=18;

and var datastring='name='+varname+'&age='+varage;

When a variable already contain & in it then value received by php code as $_POST['name'] has value only 'ram' not 'ram & shyam'

Please tell a solution for this problem

Answer 2

Replace & with %26 while sending the data

var varname="ram & shyam";
var varage=18;

var newvarname=varname.replace("&","%26");
var datastring='name='+newvarname+'&age='+varage;
