PHP problem handling urlencoded '&' (%26) char

[mRAza]

Edit: try this

RewriteRule ^file/([^/]+)/?$ script.php?fileName=$1 [NC,B] 

I have just tested above, worked...

Reference: [B] Flag , you might also need [QSA] Flag

Some files contain the '&' symbol in the name. & is the separator in PHP to identify the new $_GET variable. We typically use urlencode($theString) to encode 'funny' characters to be URL safe. However, PHP seems to treat the encoded '&' value in exactly the same way as if it were not encoded. Here is an example of the problem. Rating: 5
