Wordpress: problem in loop

So I have the following code:

    <?php
    query_posts("order=ASC&cat=4");
?>              
<?php if(have_posts()): while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
    <?php if(get_post_custom_values("show") != NULL): ?>
    <?php
        $categories = get_cat_ID(get_the_title());
        $url = get_category_link($categories);
    ?>
    <li class="thumb">
        <a href=""><?php the_post_thumbnail(array(215,200)); ?></a>
        <h2><a href=""><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    </li>
    <?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>   
</ul>

This code works, but when you have & - in your title $categories = get_cat_ID(get_the_title()); .. get_cat_ID won't work, do you know a work around?

Try get_category_by_slug instead. Fetching the ID by the name of the category will get messy, especially with duplicates and characters, as you've discovered.
