When trying to add words to a database via php, only the first word of both strings gets added.

I send the text via this code:

public void sendTextToDB() {

valcom = editText1.getText().toString();
valnm = editText2.getText().toString(); 

t = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
url = new URL("http://10.0.2.2/HB/hikebuddy.php?function=setcomm&comment="+valcom+"&name="+valnm);
h = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();

if( h.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK){
is = h.getInputStream();
}else{
is = h.getErrorStream();
}

h.disconnect();

} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d("Test", "CONNECTION FAILED 1");
}
}
};

t.start();

}

When tested with spaces and commas etc. in a browser, the php function adds all text. The strings also return the full value when inserted into a dialog.

How do I fix this?

Thank you.
