Bug description:fopen encodes ampersand '&' as '&'

Description:
------------
---
>From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.fopen%23Parameters
---
The function used to return a csv file with a stock quote with PHP 5.2.9. 
However, now with 5.2.17 the function will replace '&' with '&' and it
returns a csv file with just the text: "Missing Format Variable".

It is easy to verify by using a malformed URL with '&' in it and on the
resulting html, view source and the error message will show '&' where
'&' should be.  I have been unable to locate a workaround.  

Test script:
---------------
fopen("http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=ABT&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgvpnbaejkr&o=t";,
"r");
