Half contents of string lost

[Matt_Parsons]

I have this line of code, where the variables are extracted from mysql using fetch array. Then output using printf

<a href=team.php?cmd=playerstats&category=$category&id=$myrow[id]&playername=$myrow[playername]>

However when playername is displayed only the first part of the players name is displayed. I.e its Displays just Liam, when it should display Liam Smith. Is it doing this because of the white space between the surname and forename.

Thanks for the help

you have to quote the href!

<a href="team.php?cmd=playerstats&category=$category&id=$myrow[id]&playername=$myrow[playername]">

otherwise php would translate it to: <a href=team.php?[.....]&playername=John Smith> and the browser interprets the last part of the name as an additional attribute of the 'a'-tag!

try urlencode() so spaces become %20 etc... will make your URL compliant with all browsers.

That worked.
Thanks so much. What an oversight by me.
