consider this:

$myVar = "http://myaddress.com/index.php?var=1&var=2";

now, break after this line of code and hover over the variable $myVar.

The text tooltip should show the value of $myVar, however, it doesnt, the letter directly after the ampersand (&) is underlined and the & is omitted in the tooltip.

That is because the value of the variable is directly set as the tooltip and Windows treats ampersand (&) as hotkey specifier, making the next character underlined. In order to display the ampersand you must use 2 ampersands (&&).
Note to phpED developers: make phpED replace every & with && to display the ampersand correctly

phped 3.3 release addressed this issue.
