Whitespaces Problem in Dynamic URL

    echo "<a href=recordsub.php?name=".$_GET['name']."&fname=".$_GET['fname'].">Click Here</a>";

    It works fine when name doesn't have white spaces but if name has white spaces it displays only first part of name and also doesn't show fname.

    Any help?

echo "<a href=recordsub.php?name=".urlencode($_GET['name'])."&fname=".urlencode($_GET['fname']).">Click Here</a>";
    PHP:
    Although I strongly suggest to filter $_GET params to avoid XSS
