Space in URL in Netscape

[Anon]

On php page 1 I have link coded as follows

http://www.somewhere.php?Name=<% echo $Name_Entered ; %>

$Name has a space in it, for example "
Tom Jones"

On php page www.somewhere.php the value of $Name equals "Tom Jones" in Internet Explorer but in Netscape Navigator the value of $Name is only "Tom".

Apparently Netscape stops at the space in the URL string, while IE somehow "escapes the space."

question:

How can I "escape" the space in the $Name_Entered string so that it works in the URL for both IE and Netscape?

Thank You

echo urlencode($Name_Entered)

Thanks for the help. It works fine now.
