Space in URL not working

[amidigital]

I am pulling company names from a url like this.

http://website.com/?value=ShellLubricants

<?php $name = ucfirst( htmlspecialchars( $_GET['value'] ) ); print "$name would like to"; ?>

I would like a space between the words.

My best guess is to add %20 http://website.com/?value=Shell%20Lubricants

That doesnt work.

Thank You!

How would you know where to place the space for each unique value unless you specify it?

I would specify each link like…
value=Shell%20Lubricants
value=Smith%20Transport

But I don’t know how because %20 does not work.

But I don’t know how because %20 does not work.

%20 is the urlencoding of a nonbreaking space. If your query string contains value=Smith%20Transport, then $_GET["value"] will contain “Smith Transport”. Is this not what you are trying to accomplish? What do you mean by “does not work”?
