Hi, I'm trying to pass values having an ampersand... like
http://localhost/cake/cat/TV & Music where "TV & Music" is the
category name and the /cat is actually passed to /Categories/display/
TV & Music.
I added the following in routes.php to achieve the above:
Router::connect('/cat/*', array('controller' => 'Categories',
'action' => 'display'));
For all category names without &, this works fine. But categories
having & fails. In the above example, query happens only for "TV" and
not for "TV & Music". Can some one help me with this?
