Question

I have a php which generates an xml file and prints it on screen.

Amongst other variables, it prints an Image link.

The problem is that if this Image link has an ‘&’ character in it, I get an xml error because it isn’t encoded properly.

So I solve it by replacing the & sign with &.

Atleast I thought it was solved, now the link to the image is for example like this:

  www.domain.com/phones & equipment/img1.jpg

which causes a 404 file not found.

The real path is

  www.domain.com/phones & equipment/img1.jpg

So how can I solve this then?
I would prefer not to change the folder names, I simply didn’t know this when I created the folders.

Thanks

If it’s a URL, you might want to URL encode it instead:

www.domain.com/phones%20%26%20equipment/img1.jpg
