i tried doing the following
<a href=url?name=my name is ></a>

Actually, netscape only takes 'my', but internet explorer takes the whole string.

What you want to do is:

$name = "my name is";

print "<a href=script.php?name=".urlencode($name).">Link</a>\n";

Then.. you urldecode the $name string when you get to the other page...

you can also use the javascript escape function to urlencode the string.
That's usefull if the data is coming from a form :

<input type="button" onclick="document.location = 'myurl.php?name=' + escape(document.myform.mystring.value);">

but, in this case, it may be more simple to send data using POST method on a form 🙂

Voila.

You don't need to undecode variable $name at all. On the next page it will be undecoded already.
