where does that url come from?
is it generated by a script?
if it is, you must urlencode() it before outputing, not when receiving it from a request
query string works like this...
you have name and value of each field separated with '=', and each field separated with '&' from another field
ex.: name1=value1&name2=value2
this means that if you have an '=' on the string, IT IS separating a name from a value, and if you have a '&' on the string, IT IS separating a field from another one
no matter what you want the '=' or the '&' to be, they already are something
urlencode each piece (urlencode($fieldname) and urlencode($fieldvalue)), before separating them with '=' and '&', those and other characters will be substituted by something that will tell what they really are
as well as that %20 is a urlencoded <space>...

I am having trouble with a string becoming truncated at an '&' character. I am passing the variable via a link
(http://...&campaign=MBI%20List%20-%20Steel%20&%20Concrete) and then when I try to grab the incoming value of campaign into a SELECT query, it becomes
SELECT sum(sends) from campaigns where name='MBI List - Steel '
I have tried to urlencode the variable, and also use htmlentities, etc. to no avail.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks.
