$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] generating extra & in URL
<p>Having an issue here where the </p>

<pre><code>$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] 
</code></pre>

<p>is spitting out:
 <code>/dev/nava2/store/index.php?route=product/product&amp;amp;product_id=48</code> </p>

<p>the actual URL is <code>/dev/nava2/store/index.php?route=product/product&amp;product_id=48</code> </p>

<p>obviously, the difference being the <code>&amp;amp;</code> on the top vs. the <code>&amp;</code> on the bottom</p>

<p>full code looks like this: </p>

<pre><code>$currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];  
$classic = "/dev/nava2/store/index.php?route=product/product&amp;product_id=48";


if ($currentpage == $classic) 
    { $classicclass = "current";

    } 

else { echo "";} 
</code></pre>

<p>Any suggestions?</p>
