Storing & in database

Should it be & or just &

[wheelie34]

Hi

For example a company name widget & co currently I store it like

widget_&_co but when I call it out with PHP it only goes as far as widget_

Should I convert the input to & or how would I handle it?

Try processing the text through htmlspecialchars() before displaying it:

[us.php.net...]
