I’m working on a tags system. But when there is a more-than-one-word tag, on the query string instead of the space there is the space characters %20.

For example this tags on one article: php, mysql, php security, forms

displays like this:  
php  
mysql  
php security  
forms

the link for php security is something like [www.domain.com/tag=php%20security](http://www.domain.com/tag=php%20security)

how do you handle this type of tags?
