Uploading of clips does not work with certain YouTube videos

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login to YouDescribe
2. In the search box, type "Fast and Furious 6 trailer"
3. Click the Create/Edit link next to the search result "Fast & Furious 6 
Official Trailer #1 (2013)." Its YouTube ID is v=dKi5XoeTN0k
4. Try recording description clips for it. They do not successfully upload. 

After clicking the Upload button, the upload should complete and update the 
table of clips. The table does not get updated, and clips do not reach the 
database.

The log.txt file does not seem to be updated when this process takes place.

This is not a Flash permissions problem. In the same session, both before and 
after attempting to record for F&F, it is possible to successfully record and 
upload descriptions for other videos with proper updating of the clips table 
and log.txt is properly updated, etc. -- for example, I successfully recorded  
"Talking Signs Reception Characteristics," v=PUtHH2rw7KM before and after 
unsuccessfully trying F&F.

What is the URL of the page causing the error?

I tried recording clips for several other F&F videos, and all failed until I 
tried one that had the word "and" instead of the ampersand (&). That video 
*did* allow me to upload clips...

So it would seem that it might have something to do with not properly escaping 
special characters in the API call. We should fix this for all special 
characters, not just ampersand. PHP offers a number of functions for handling 
this problem.
