Lost data after space in PHP variables

["Charlie Lewis" <charlie.lewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure that this is entirely the group for my question, so apologise
if it is.

 

I'm losing data in variables that use the assignment of $_POST[]. Any
variable with a space in the $_POST[] loses everything after the space. Is
it that I need to enclose the data with ' or "? I've tried all that with
little success.

 

Thank-you.
