I have this code below. As you can see I am passing two variables along with the link. The second variabye (category) works whenever it consists of one word, but some categories are two words or more, and then on the receiving php page where I fetch the variable only the first word is fetched.

Any ideas?

Example: I pass along this: Rims & Tires Only this comes through: Rims

$display_table .= "<a href='../ad.php?ad_id=$row[ad_id]&category=$row[category]' target='_parent'>";

Here is how I fetch it in the receiving php file (which the link is to):

$cat = $_GET['category'];
echo $cat; //displays only first word of multiple word categories.

Thanks
