Is it possible to make a link that will show up when a record is found that will search the database even if the variable's result is two or three words with a space in between? For example, in sub html_record I can place a link for my "place" field with
<a href="http://www.myurl.com/dbman/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default&ID=&Title=&URL=&Type=---&Date=&Category=---&Description=&keyword=$rec{'place'}&mh=1&sb=---&so=ascend&view_records=View+Records&nh=11">$rec{'place'}</a>

However, if the result of the Place record is more than one word, like "Park Place" the resulting link is http://www.myurl.com/dbman/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default&ID=&Title=&URL=&Type=---&Date=&Category=---&Description=&keyword=Park Place&mh=1&sb=---&so=ascend&view_records=View+Records&nh=11
which will not search properly because of the space between "Park" and "Place."

Thank you.

If you're only going to have spaces that need coding, before you print out the link, add

$place=$rec{'place'};
$place =~ s/ /+/g;
print qq|<a href="$db_script_link_url&keyword=$place&mh=1&view_records=1&nh=11">$rec{'place'}</a>|;

If there might be other odd characters that give you a problem, you'll need to go to http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/Mods/changes.txt and add the subroutine at the bottom of the page -- sub urlencode. If you do that, you would use

$place=&urlencode($rec{'place'});
print qq|<a href="$db_script_link_url&keyword=$place&mh=1&view_records=1&nh=11">$rec{'place'}</a>|;

(I'm not quite sure about why you're using "&nh=11" but mine is not to wonder why! )
