    That is an ampersand.... Is Google giving you errors?

    Thanks for the reply ampersand is & " is quot;.

    Googlebase is working fine its just in the descriptions there are quote; instead of "marks".

    I can go through and manually edit these out but I dont want to have to be doing this as im trying to automate the whole process.

    I have been told there is a php function which strips dhtml tags?

    Kind Regards

    Dave

    ampersdands are not just &


    The one you are having trouble with is " vs quot;


    Most likely you have incorrectly coded the " ampersand in your descriptions.

    Thanks for the help, still no joy unfortunately. I'm using the stock googlebase feeder module. The description titles have " in, something is changing these to quot; but without the &.

    Anyone have any other ideas?

    Your source of your descriptions should not be " but rather &quote;
