Character Entity References
|
|
|
| We had a consultant write some PHP software for us which in most
respects is working, but we have one issue we are having trouble
comprehending.
If the following company name "Jones & Jones" were entered into this
software, it appears in our database as {Jones & Jones} (brackets
mine).
How do we characterize this and what is {&} called.
Thanks
Frank

An HTML entity?
Also - you had a lousy consultant. Get your money back.

Given that the Subject is "Character Entity References", I assume you
are asking for the name of the character that & references:
ampersand.
