urlencode & urldecode on datetime

With the url variable sending as:

.php?date=2006-05-18 11:14:29

How is the entire value preserved, so it may be inserted?

Presently its being definid as: $date = $_GET['date'];

Which inserts as: 2006-05-18

How should urlencode/urldecode look if this is what should be used?

See the manual page for [man]urlencode[/man] for examples of how to use it. Fields that are in the $_GET[] array are urldecoded automatically.

And if this is in a tag's attribute value, the value should be in quotes.
