spaces in select

Hi all, I have a select/option that gets populated with countries. The value of these option are also set to the country name. The problem i have is that some countries have spaces in them eg: United States of America. When the form is posted and I echo the country variable out that has been posted. It only shows the first word IE: United. Is there a way to ensure that I can get all the words that the value is set to?IE: United States of America, when the form is posted? Thanks in advance.
