strings with spaces [Resolved]

[ober0330]

Ok, so I have the following function:

function gofull()
{
    URL = location.href
    if (URL.search("Date_Found") != -1)
	{
	URL = URL.substring(0,URL.search("Date_Found")-1)
	}
    URL=URL+"?Date_Found="+document.dform.Date_Found.value+"&Last_Known="+document.dform.Last_Known.value
    
    if (document.dform.TagNum.options[document.dform.TagNum.selectedIndex].value != 1)
        URL = URL+"&TagNum="+document.dform.TagNum.options[document.dform.TagNum.selectedIndex].value
    if (document.dform.SYMP.value != "")
        URL = URL+"&SYMP="+document.dform.SYMP.value
    if (document.dform.User.options[document.dform.User.selectedIndex].value != 1)
        URL = URL+"&user="+document.dform.User.options[document.dform.User.selectedIndex].value
    if (document.dform.impact.value != "")
        URL = URL+"&impact="+document.dform.impact.value

        URL = URL+"&act_prod_date="+document.dform.act_prod_date.value
	location.href = URL
}
-->
</script>

It works great except for the fact that the "SYMP" field is a string that will contain spaces. When that field is put into the URL when the form is refreshed, it adds "%20" for each space... and then when I use the following:

        <?php
        if(isset($_GET['SYMP']))
            echo "<input type=text name=SYMP size=40 value=" . $_GET['SYMP'] . ">";
        else
            echo "<input type=text name=SYMP size=40 value=\"\">";
        ?>

it only puts the first word of the string into the textbox.

How do I get it to grab the whole string out of the URL?
