problem with Netscape and $_GET

[tonymc]

I am attempting to pass some data to a PHP page by using some name-value pairs that are appended to a URL. For example:

http://somesite.com/process.php?coursenumber=PY510&coursename=Lifespan Development

On the page that receives the data, I am doing the following:

$coursenumber=$GET['coursenumber'];
$coursename=$GET['coursename'];

Works fine in IE5, but in Netscape, only the first word of the $coursename string is returned. Can anybody tell me how to fix this?

urlencode()
urldecode()

its becuase your space isnt a valid character to be put into a url. use the mentioned functions to change any invalid characters tot he proper symbols
