You need to URLEncode the string or place quotes around the string,
preferably the URLEncode is the best choice.

Subject: [cfaussie] Passing the '&' symbol in a URL.


Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone knew if coldfusion had a special
function that could read the & symbol passed into a URL - rather than
treating it as a URL appendage?

i.e:

?Category=Tables&Chairs&Category2=Leather

On the receiving page...

Field1 = 'URL.Category'
Field2 = 'URL.Category2'

My problem is that:-

Field1 = Tables
-- and should be --
Field1 = Tables&Chairs

In my database, there are many & symbols, and when this is passed in
the URL, anything after the & symbol is dropped.

Hopefully Coldfusion has an easy fix to this.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cheers,

Travis.
