I have this line in my code, it should pass to the header the value of the variable $element. The value of $element="john De Costa". But I look at the header and all I can get is the first name, it seems that nothing gets passed after the space. And I cannot change the way the value on the variable is. How can I get the entire string into to the header so I can use it later? Here is how I am passing the values to the header. print "<td bgcolor=#e0e0e0><a href=open_log_viewer.pl?=$getdata=$getdata2=&transaction=dusage_by_unit&$element><font color=#000000 size=\"2\"><b>$element</b></font></A></td><td><font color=#000000 size=\"2\"><b>T. Number of Visits&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>=</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color=red size=\"2\"><b>$count{$element}</b></font>\n";
