Using & in URL

[eluser]ccachor[/eluser]
I've got a small problem where a query string posting to the URI has a disallowed character in it. The problem is with a specific model car, Town & Country, and I'm posting that to the URL and doing my query based on the URI segment. Is there a quick way to get this to work!?

Simply add it to the allowed characters list.
In your application's config.php change

Code:

$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_-';

to

Code:

$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_&-';

That did the trick...I was putting the & all the way at the end in the config file so I was getting an error. Thanks!

You "could" also (instead) urlencode() the text that's going into the URI...

That's what I would recommend doing. I wouldn't change anything in the allowed characters list unless it was absolutely necessary.
