The code below works but it confuses the ampersands in my $body variable
text with the ampersands in the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. I need to be able to use
the ampersands in my text. How do I work around this?

<?php
$c = curl_init('myurl_and_cgi_to_post_to');

$body = "This is my test and in it I need to use ampersands. & or &";

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'name=test&body=' . $body);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$page = curl_exec($c);
curl_close($c);
?>

As an example:

$body = "This is my test. An Ampersand like this & breaks the above code. Or
an ampersand like this &amp; breaks the above code.";

I need to know: is there another way to put ampersands in html that actually
does not in any form use the ampersand symbol in the source code? Or is
there away to use a delimiter different then the ampersand? Or possibly
another workaround.

Thanks much,
Jeff
