Submitting the Form

[FatesCall]

So I'm trying to submit the name of a teamspeak 3 channel and the one word channels work fine with using $_POST['channel'] but if the string is two words (separated by a space) then it only uses the first word of the string

 

Form.php: 

 <form name="kick" method="POST" action="kick.php">
            <select name="channel" id="channel">
                <option value="default" name="default" selected>Choose One</option> 
                <?php
                require_once("Teamspeak3/libraries/TeamSpeak3/TeamSpeak3.php");
                $ts3_VirtualServer = TeamSpeak3::factory("serverquery://<username redacted>:<password redacted>
@localhost:10011/?server_port=9987");
                foreach ($ts3_VirtualServer->channelList() as $ts3_Channel) {
                    echo "<option value=" . $ts3_Channel["channel_name"] . ">" . $ts3_Channel["channel_name"] . "</option>";
                }
                ?>
            </select>
            <input type="submit" name="Kick Players"/>        
</form>

 

Kick.php:

<?php session_start();
define('MYSITE', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . ":8000"); //define what our site is.
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    if ($_POST['channel'] == "default") {
        header('Location: http://' . MYSITE . '/panel_error.php?reason=default');
        exit();
    } else {
        $clients = array();
        require_once("Teamspeak3/libraries/TeamSpeak3/TeamSpeak3.php");
                $ts3_VirtualServer = TeamSpeak3::factory("serverquery://<username redacted>:<password redacted>
@localhost:10011/?server_port=9987");
        $channel = $ts3_VirtualServer->channelGetByName($_POST['channel']);
        foreach($ts3_VirtualServer->clientList() as $client) {
            if($client['cid'] == $channel->getId()) {
                $clients[$client->getId()] = $client;
            }
        }
        if(empty($clients)) {
             header('Location: http://' . MYSITE . '/panel_error.php?reason=noclients'); 
             exit();
        }
        $ts3_VirtualServer->clientKick($clients, TeamSpeak3::KICK_SERVER, "You have been kicked from the server!");
        header('Location: http://' . MYSITE . '/panel.php'); 
        exit();
    }
}

EXAMPLE OF PROBLEM: 

In the drop down list I choose 'Admin Room'.
I submit and when I run:

$channel = $ts3_VirtualServer->channelGetByName($_POST['channel']);

it runs as:
 

 $channel = $ts3_VirtualServer->channelGetByName('Admin');

instead of: 
 

 $channel = $ts3_VirtualServer->channelGetByName('Admin Room');

THE ERROR:
 

C:\path\to\project\kick.php(11): TeamSpeak3_Node_Server->channelGetByName('Admin'); //results in below

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'TeamSpeak3_Adapter_ServerQuery_Exception' with message 'invalid channelID'

Put quotes round the value

 

eg <option value='Channel name'>

 

If you use only <option value=Channel Name> it will use the first word only.

I feel like I'm such a noob on these forums because I'm asking so many simple questions.
