url parameters with a space in the variable name

[goobla]

Hello,

I am having an issue that is being sent to one of my scripts. A
particular company likes to uses spaces in their url parameters, which
is causing me some issues.

For example:
A url variable might be "custom var" with a value of "1234"
and "custom var2" with a value of "5678"
they are sending this as:

test.php?custom %20var=1234&cus tom%20var2=5678

I am having trouble accessing this variable.

Things i have tried:
$_GET["uid"]
$_GET["custom uid"]
$_GET["custom%20u id"]
$uid
$_REQUEST["custom uid"]
$_GET['custom uid']

You guys get the idea.

How do i reference these variables?

Thanks.

I can answer my own question.
$custom_var works. use the underscore instead of space or %20
