[FX.php List] Encoding a link so that it'll process...

I did... 

Here's a link that works:

http://tirms.longtermsolutions.com/?ql=true&cc=Acadian

but if I add the 2nd word in their name

http://tirms.longtermsolutions.com/?ql=true&cc=Acadian AgriTech

it fails. The funny thing is though, I use jQuery and pass that 2-word name in the original query and it works.

I also tried

http://tirms.longtermsolutions.com/?ql=true&cc=Acadian%20AgriTech

but that fails too...

The question i have is, WHAT can I put between the 2 words that will get passed to my query and work?

Thanks for your help,

Bob
