I need to send values like var1=w&c but I get an error when I try to do this using the get method... What can i do?

urlencode() the parameters line (full url if you want)before sending, urldecode after receiving or I guess & could be escaped && or \& (I don't know, never had this problem and I'm too lazy to check the PHP dox ;-)

Pass %26 instead of &

VGR is right. You URLENCODE the values and in the next page you get the correct values w&c.

I mean, %26 is a good solution, but urlendode/decode is good practice and is more general : it solves a lot of problems
