& symbol turns into &amp in fields

Whenever you type a & into a field, it turns into &amp. Is there a fix for this?

Fortissimo · August 8th, 2006, 04:11 PM

Anyone on this please?

& should be &amp but that should never be displayed unless its a url

It is in a URL. We have the option to link to an outside source, which means posting a link. When it changes the &, it messes up the link. Is there a way to fix this? I know that there are other Photopost galleries that have it so that it does not change it in the fields...

where are you talking about in the program though?

Here is an example:
http://www.gottapixel.net/gallery/sh...00/ppuser/5767

Scroll down to where it says "Link to Kit: (please link to kit not site):"

It is converting this link
http://www.scrapbookersplayground.co...oducts_id=2149
into this:
http://www.scrapbookersplayground.co...oducts_id=2149

If thats say extra 1 field try removing this in showphoto.php

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Removed that from the code, however it the issue is still there.

Here is an example
http://www.gottapixel.net/gallery/sh...00/ppuser/2564

I pasted in the URL of
http://www.scrapbookersplayground.co...oducts_id=2149

It converts it incorrectly.

I do not have that code in showphoto.php

Chuck S · September 8th, 2006, 08:19 PM

Make the line that

Fortissimo · September 12th, 2006, 10:17 AM

I changed

$extra1 = convert_markups($extra1);

to

$extra1 = un_htmlspecialchars($extra1);

Still does not fix it.

My post was an example you need to do that to $extra4 since that is the variable that has the url on your specific install.

Fortissimo · September 12th, 2006, 02:05 PM

I'm sorry, but your replies are bit to cryptic for me to understand. Can you please explain exactly what needs to be found in the code and exactly what it needs to be changed to? Thanks.

Content visible to verified customers only.

Your $extra4 line should read that above

Fortissimo · September 12th, 2006, 04:54 PM

I do not have any code, even remotely resembling the above in my showphoto.php

You have an $extra4 line that looks like that make it this
