As an example, I have the following
$myform->METHOD="GET"
$myform->ACTION = ("new.php?var1=1&var2=2")

After presentation (via Smarty), the final output is

form method="get" action="new.php?var1=1&var2=2"

Is there any way of avoiding the "&" in the line?

The HTML entities are necessary to encode the values properly.

Anyway, if you use the GET method, the browser will override any parameters that you enter in the ACTION URL after ? . You need to use the POST method to preserve the original ACTION URL parameters.
