multiple words in php query string

[Zellan]

I have read lots of tutorials but none have covered this subject (i think), I know it has something to+do+with+plus+signs.

[James Smith]

index.php?ID=4&name=JamesSmith





seperate each entity with &


-James

[Zellan]

no what i ment was to make a query like this:

index.php?name=James+Smith

if i put

$fullname = "James Smith"

the outcome of

index.php?name=$fullname

will be

index.php?name=James


???? solution ????

I believe that is the urlencode function of PHP.

You'd use something like:

$fullname = urlencode

but I am not sure.

Search Kevin's tutorial and you are sure to find it.

I forgot to say that if "James Smith" (w/o quotes) is entered in the form, it will be converted to "James+Smith" (again without quotes). PHP will recognize it as "James Smith" whenever you call it.
