bbcode with & (ampersand) ?

[CCV_Pinto]

hi,

do you know how do I create a bbcode in which the substitution has an ampersand (the symbol: &) ?

because now my &'s are turning into: & which is the "html form" of the ampersand

this would happen if we pass a "htmlspecialchars" php function to the ampersand.. but thats not the problem because others symbols like < and > are working well

so I want a substitution like this:

<a href="blabla.com/test.php?param={param}&otherp=123"

but [mybb]test[mybb] turns to: <a href="blabla.com/test.php?param=mybb&amp;otherp=123"

and I think that cause the script I am calling to not work

I appreciate any advice

thanks in advance
