php - %26 in query string is breaking the $_GET part -

for page

www.industrialstores.com/search_results/bell+%26+gossett+101238+1.25"+sweat+checktrolflangeset/46 

i not getting value in $_get['s']

the value in $_get['s'] should bell gossett 101238 1.25" sweat checktrolflangeset bell passed $_get['s']

i tried urldecode(), htmlentities not of use.

my .httaccess file like

rewriterule ^([a-za-z0-9_-]{3,100})/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?page=$1&s=$2&o=$3 [l] rewriterule ^([a-za-z0-9_-]{3,100})/([^/]+)/([a-za-z0-9_]+)/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?page=$1&s=$2&o=$3&p=$4 [l] rewriterule ^([a-za-z0-9_-]{3,100})/([^/]+)/([a-za-z0-9_]+)/([a-za-z0-9_]+)/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?page=$1&s=$2&o=$3&p=$4&q=$5 [l] rewriterule ^([a-za-z0-9_-]{3,100})/([^/]+)/([a-za-z0-9_]+)/([a-za-z0-9_]+)/([a-za-z0-9]+)/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?page=$1&s=$2&o=$3&p=$4&q=$5&r=$6 [l] 

as second rikudo wrote, rewrite rules not accepting & character (%26).

try this;

rewriterule ^([a-za-z0-9_-\&]{3,100})/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?page=$1&s=$2&o=$3 [l] rewriterule ^([a-za-z0-9_-\&]{3,100})/([^/]+)/([a-za-z0-9_\&]+)/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?page=$1&s=$2&o=$3&p=$4 [l] rewriterule ^([a-za-z0-9_-\&]{3,100})/([^/]+)/([a-za-z0-9_\&]+)/([a-za-z0-9_\&]+)/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?page=$1&s=$2&o=$3&p=$4&q=$5 [l] rewriterule ^([a-za-z0-9_-\&]{3,100})/([^/]+)/([a-za-z0-9_\&]+)/([a-za-z0-9_\&]+)/([a-za-z0-9\&]+)/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?page=$1&s=$2&o=$3&p=$4&q=$5&r=$6 [l] 

also, these rewriterules not efficient. go this;

rewriterule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=$1 [l] 

and matching in php. there lot of frameworks have excellent routing built in, can use or build own, using explode() function in php.
