Passing values in URL

[vishak]

Hi...

I've just started learning Ajax and my question is :

I am passing these values in this url ,

http://localhost/test/check.php?sem=s1&s2&branch=cse

 

the value of sem is actually s1&s2,

but since & is the delimiter here I'm not able to receive the full value of sem

Should i escape the & character?(if so, how?)

Or is there any other way to overcome this?

Rather than using "&" try using "%26"

Just to add, if you're using server-side languages like PHP or ASP u can do them automatically:

 

PHP:

http://localhost/test/check.php?sem=<?php echo urlencode('s1&s2'); ?>&branch=cse

 

ASP:

http://localhost/test/check.php?sem=<%=Server.URLEncode("s1&s2")%>&branch=cse
