ignore '&' in var contents passed in address bar
<p>i have a download.php file which gets and opens files. i have a problem is that files were named using '&amp;' in the file name so i get file not found when trying to access files with '&amp;' in them.</p>

<p>example: download.phpf=one_&amp;_another.pdf</p>

<p>in the download.php file i use get to the the file name ($_GET['f']) the example above throws the error file not found if i change the file name to one_and_another.pdf it works.</p>

<p>Yes renaming would be nice if there wasnt a whole lot of these files named this way.</p>

<p>I need to know how to ignore the fact that '&amp;' doesnt mean im about to pass another var in php.</p>
