I have never passed a search value with a space or a comma , in it,

What happens is that IE puts in the space and takes the whole value as
the parameter and correctly finds the result we are looking for from the
search request, but in Netscape it only sees up to where there is a
space or where there is a comma.
Here is how the search value looks from the command line in the browser
display_products.php?search_value=Toilet Tissue, 2-Ply
Within the application it returns there is no match for Toilet which
basically tells me that php thinks that's the end of the string being
passed to it.
Any ideas on how I should get around this ?
This is what the db search string looks like:
$db_result = mysql_query(select * from $db_tablename where
category='$value');
Well the truth is that you're not supposed to send spaces via the URL.
Use urlencode() it's sibling, to make your parameters URL friendly.
