adding "+" signs in query strings

[Guest_imported]

How would I go about adding a + sign between words submitted to a script? It is a content retrieval script:
Line is:

$url = "

http://www.partnerssearch.com/psearch?q=$search";

When someone types in two words in the search box, it only displays 1 on the query string on my partner's site. For example, when I search for "free email", it only pulls the "

http://www.partnerssearch.com/psearch?q=free"

part, not "?q=free email".

I want to be able to make it automatically format the string as "two+words+or+more", not "two words or more".

Please help me out here.

Thanks,
Josh

You could use the str_replace function for that. When a user enters "two or more users", you do:

$search = str_replace(" ","+",$search);

the result is "two+or+more+users"

that should help you out.
