I wouldn't do the htmlentities() on the whole argument list. Depending on the Doctype version you have declared and depending how well implemented it is in each browser, it may render the argument list useless. Unless you declared the strictest and latest version of HTML, all browsers will take a plain & in between arguments instead of an &.
Haven't you seen the page source as received by the browser? All browsers give you that option somewhere in their menues. What does the URL look like in the Location box in the browser? Just to know whether the problem is in the assembly of the URL or in reading it back. If the URL shows correctly, try a var_dump($_GET). Show it within a <pre> section so even whitespace is clearly visible.

print '<p><a href="viewpage.php?'. htmlentities($query_string) .'"> View Values </a></p>';

You should use urlencode() on variables that will go into URL arguments.
You might have a whitespace in any of those variables and the URL stops at
the first whitespace. If those spaces are at the ends and are not
significant, you might want to use trim().
