i have a problem getting the value of an url variable if it has & in it for example i have cat=Hospitality+&+Tourism+Services. When i $_GET the value of cat it stops after Hospitality because i have a & inside it. I encoded url but it still get's me only the first part of variable.

$cat=$_GET['cat']; echo $cat;

this display Hospitality instead Hospitality & Tourism Services

How can i solve this? thnx in advance!

edit this is my encoded url: <a class="btn" href="/<?php echo $nume_categ; ?>/<?php echo urlencode($cat['Nume_Subcat']); ?>.php" role="button"><?php echo $cat['Nume_Heb']; ?><br><?php echo $cat['Nume_Subcat']; ?></a>

i also have a mod_rewrite for it here it is:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.php$ /produse.php?category=$1&cat=$2 [L]

You should encode the variables before creating the url. – RFLdev Jan 22 '16 at 12:10
it is working on my local. this is the url `http://localhost/work/test_code.php?cat=Hospitality+%26+Tourism+Services` – urfusion Jan 22 '16 at 12:11
Always encode your url before sending, like this: `">click this link` – Rajdeep Paul Jan 22 '16 at 12:14
