Hello List.

I have variables displaying content from mysql fields.  The contents contains & like "Dogs & Cats"... so naturally the W3C validator chokes on them.

Is there a way to encode so they display properly on the page but the validator is OK with them?


Is the answer as simple as:

urlencode($myvar)

Thanks,
