Help with '&' character

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. -- Chris Bruce chris@idextrus.com Idextrus E-Business Architects http://www.idextrus.com 3282 Wilmar Cres.
