$_GET and multiple spaces.

Hello, One of the values I'm passing in a URL string contains multiple spaces. <a href="browse.php?DarScientificName=Argononemertes australiensis">...</a> (The multiple spaces are between Argononemertes and australiensis) However when I retrieve the value using $_GET[DarScientificName] there is only a single space between the two names which I understand is the intended behaviour? Is there a way to preserve the multiple spaces? Thanks Craig.
