Ampersand in GET, PHP
- by NightMICU
I have a simple form that generates a new photo gallery, sending the title and a description to MySQL and redirecting the user to a page where they can upload photos.
Everything worked fine until the ampersand entered the equation. The information is sent from a jQuery modal dialog to a PHP page which then submits the entry to the database. After Ajax completes successfully, the user is sent to the upload page with a GET URL to tell the page what album it is uploading to --
$.ajax ({
type: "POST",
url: "../../includes/forms/add_gallery.php",
data: $("#addGallery form").serialize(),
success: function() {
$("#addGallery").dialog('close');
window.location.href = 'display_album.php?album=' + title;
}
});
If the title has an ampersand, the Title field on the upload page does not display properly. Is there a way to escape ampersand for GET?
Thanks
