Description:
------------
Hi, there's a problem with

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

this returns a string with unencoded ampersands; that's not good, because the "&" is used to create entities and may cause bugs.
I need to escape all instances of '&' into '&', according to W3C standards. Hope this will be fixed soon.

Test script:
---------------
<?php echo "?". $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] . "&amp;copy=".$testi[0]; ?>
