Error on simple html dom url

Question

i am using Simple html dom where i get this problem:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://forums.xxxxx.co.il/viewtopic.php?f=1015&t=14635609) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in C:\wamp\www\forums_walla\simple_html_dom.php on line 76

I think the problem is & where is should be only &?

Does anyone know what to do? or what should be fixed?

btw code goes like this:

$href1 = "http://forums.xxxx.co.il/".$topic_page_href; // where $topic_page_href contains the link to next page as --> viewtopic.php?f=1015&t=14635609 which was scrapped from a page)
$topic_page = file_get_html($href1);

and if i do

$href1 = "http://forums.xxxx.co.il/viewtopic.php?f=1015&t=14635609
$topic_page = file_get_html($href1);

everything is just fine.
