PHP getimagesize with ampersand in string creates errors
- by RobHardgood
I'm using the getimagesize function in PHP, and the path string contains an ampersand, which otherwise is fine.
The page gives me errors where getimagesize() is called. Looking at the source code, though, I see the ampersand is being passed through as & rather than just &
I presume this is causing errors because PHP doesn't need to convert it to the html tag in order to find the path, right?
Here is the error:
Warning: getimagesize(image.php?name=username&pic=picture) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
