Hi Mikel (or someone else)

I am very new to this PHP (2 days now) and to worldkit so I am not sure if
this is a "me been a bad coder" or a bug with worldkit.

I seem to be having problems passing a "&" or "&" through the <confurl>
option.

It seems to only pass the URL up to the &.  I have tried using both "&" and
"&amp:" and still get the same problem.

so in the HTML I use,
worldkit.swf?confurl=config.php?lat=37&long=107
or
worldkit.swf?confurl=config.php?lat=37&long=107

But is seems to only request
..../config.php?lat=37

Grrrrrrrr

Check it out for yourself

I am trying to get this to work
http://www.wildwalks.com/maps/map.php?lat=37&long=107
But I can't get the hard coded HTML version to work first.
(I have made a dynamicaly created config.php and rss.php they seem to work
when I pass the variables)

Thanks for your time

Matt  :)

An extract of the HTML is here;
