Okay, I figured out how to get the separator working. The
rest of the questions about the security concerns are still
valid though. The fix for the "&" ampersand character passed
into the address bar... works great on both Windows and Unix
servers.
<?php
session_start();
ini_set("arg_separator.output", "&");
?>
The other questions I'm leaving open here even though they
are a little off topic now...

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.
