Can I use white spaces?

Hi all, I've encountered myself trapped into a big mystery this time, and that's because of some white spaces. I have a MySql table which I use to store users and visitors information, but when I want to display this information on screen for them to see and/or correct, every field that has white spaces are stripped to the first word, so I need something more "Address: Avenue" to ship a product don't I? How can I correct this in PHP? I've tried with stripslashes but white spaces are not treated like quotes (am I right?). FYI, there are Varchars and TEXT fields having this problem.
