Ahh... first post! Hello Everyone!

I just created a new site, where I have my products stored in my MySQL database.
I've used mod-rewrite to parse out the "brand" and "productname" from my URL's, so they look more SEO friendly...ie:
http://example.com/brand-product.php

Problem is, I'm not sure how to handle special characters in the URL... as all of my URL's now have #134;, reg;... and other decimal and entity equiv's in them.

I can only think of one way around this, which is by using static pages... which I'm hesitant to do(have php spit out a product page for each product).

Any ideas?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

You don't need static pages. What you need to do is to research how to use that mod-rewrite directive a little more creatively - e.g. research how to create complex regex. ;)
