Hi. I'm a newbie. I need help. :)

I have a script that reads the first line in a file (a department name) and stores it in $department[0]. When $deptartment[0] is passed via GET it appears in the URL as follows:

www.example.com/script.pl?department=Customer Service

I want to be able to use what is passed (Customer Service) and display it as such in HTML (i.e.

Customer Service

). However, it doesn't do that, it only displays the first word of the department name (i.e.

Customer

). Is it possible to read both words? Do I have to pass both words seperately? Thanks!
