Re: rawurldecode

I have been playing around with the varialbe that I am sending here and I have found that this function is actually working correctly. Spaces an punctuation decode properly, but an amperstand seems to be where my ploblem is. I know its a very weird character to be using, but it is a valid character in a filename so I must acount for it. Has anyone previously dealt with this and might be able to give me a quick work around?
