[PHP] HTML embedding

[Todd Barr]

Hello,

I am having an issue.  I am using an access database, where the names have
whitespace.

Now, when I try to generate a link within the php script I get just their
first name

But in the link itself I get the whole name

so the html link looks something like this

a href=http://www.whatever.com/dave;David Bruner/a

I am using an ODBC connection.

Thanks in advance for any help

Try urlencode your data before outputing it.
php.net/urlencode

So, you are talking about two things:

1. A link
2. The link itself

One works and one doesn't.

As a complete guess, look into URL encoding. I bet you are
trying to use a space in a URL.
