How to send & as data using _POST method using Ajax

Mar 24th, 2008

Hi All,
I am trying to send some data using Ajax and recieve that data in php code using _POST method.

But my data contains "&" and _POST method takes it as a seperating token and data after tht does not get passed. Does anyone has a solution to this.

Code snippet:

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

params = "q="+str+"&p="+str1;  //here str1 contains data which has &


  xmlHttp.open("POST",url,false);
  xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  xmlHttp.send(params);

And on server side when I use
$posted = &$_POST ;

it takes & as a seperator which is present as data.

Please someone let me know the workaround or approach to this.
