The w3 validator identifies the ampersand character as the
leading character for special character sequences. And as
such, all ampersands should be converted to & when
employed as part of a URI. So I configured that manually,
for my own parameters. However, I think what I'm seeing
here with the validator, is that the validator does not activate
cookies and thereby PHP automatically adds an <input>
tag with the PHPSESSID.

Can anyone tell me how to get PHP to employ the &amp;
character in such cases?

Also, do any security risks exist? Should I be parsing the
address line passed and checking to see if anyone is trying
to pass <?PHP tags in that line?

The variables working there, are some $_GET['$iPic'] and
$_GET['$iCategory'] placed inside the hidden form input tags.
I'm seeing that PHP automatically adds an extra <input> tag?
Is that correct?

Thanks.
