i have an array of URLs, but these URL contains the unwanted string "&" so many times..

How can i remove & from the strings of that array ???

There are a few ways, probably the most simple is this:

$cleanArray = array();
foreach($strings as $string) {
  $cleanArray[] = str_replace("&", "&", $string);
}

You can use urldecode as well although that will replace all %foo or &bar with their respective symbols.

There is some problem with this function..
if i am using & for replacing & nothing changes & if i use something else like "abc" instead of & for replacing & it works..
it means whenever & is in the link the amp; also comes automatically..:c-mad:

I am not sure what you are referring to, take this working example:
Ideone.com | Online PHP Interpreter & Debugging Tool

It resolves the encoded & successfully. Is that what you meant?
