 I'm losing data in variables that use the assignment of $_POST[]. Any
 variable with a space in the $_POST[] loses everything after the space. Is
 it that I need to enclose the data with ' or ? I've tried all that with
 little success.


Using a simple script like this ...

html
head
titleTesting spaces in names/title
/head
body
form method=POST action=?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ??a b=c d
input type=input name=e f value=g h
input type=submit
/form
pre?php
var_export($_GET);
var_export($_POST);
?/pre
/body
/html

results in ...



array (
  'a_b' = 'c d',
)array (
  'e_f' = 'g h',
)

So, your spaces are automatically converted to _ by PHP.

This is documented at
http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php

Generally input names shouldn't have spaces, use underscores if needed
