I have a method in a class wich composes an URL from the database, this method sets some extra params in the url. In this case, the function returns: /myaccount/?opt=sys&amp;id=3 Note the &amp; in the URL Well, with this code, the url works perfect and the &amp; is going as expected redirecting to /myaccount/?opt=sys&id=3 echo '<a href="'. $url .'">Test URL</a>';

This is correct, you should use entities in html atributes

But when triying header("Location: $url");

But not in headers

The only solution I've found is to change the code to this: header('Location: '. html_entity_decode($url)); I would like to know if there is a better way to do it, or something else I should take into consideration.

Another method in your class that will return unencoded urls.
