string auto-adding amp; when there is & in the URL

How do I stop the browser adding amp; on every & there is in the URL?

So I am trying to get a JSON file from a URL

(http://steamcommunity.com/market/priceoverview/?currency=1&appid=570&market_hash_name=Inscribed%20Blades%20of%20Voth%20Domosh).

However, it keeps on adding amp; on every & there is, which makes the JSON returns null.

URL becomes: (http://steamcommunity.com/market/priceoverview/?currency=1&appid=570&market_hash_name=Inscribed%20Blades%20of%20Voth%20Domosh

Can anyone help me to stop my php doing this all the time?

Here is my code:

$priceURL = 'http://steamcommunity.com/market/priceoverview/?currency=1&appid=570&market_hash_name=Genuine%20Bloodfeather%20Wings   ';

                                        $priceString = file_get_contents($priceURL);
                                        $price_json = json_encode($priceString, true);
                                        echo $price_json['lowest_price'];

You should decode url, use like this.

  $priceURL = 'http://steamcommunity.com/market/priceoverview/?currency=1&appid=570&market_hash_name=Genuine%20Bloodfeather%20Wings   ';

 $priceURL =  urldecode($priceURL);
