Passing two variables in URL

The web site (a cycling one) can list one or more events happening at
different locales on the same day.
To differentiate between events happening on the same day, when I make
the hyperlink -
print(" href=\"fun_runs_individual.php?id=$Row[event_date]&$Row[even t]\">$Row[event]
$Row[event_date]");
the status bar shows the full combination (e.g.
id=http://domain/fun_runs_individual.php?id=2005-01-01&Fintr y 2005) and
that appears in the address bar of the next screen as
http://domain/fun_runs_individual.php?id=2005-01-01&Fintry%2 02005
In that following page, when I take the $id to try and separate the two
elements so I can search the table for all entries which have the chosen
event_date and the chosen event, all that $id prints out as is the event
date.
I've never tried to pass two variables at once before this and just
supposed it would work. Am I missing something blindingly obvious?

Just give the two variables different names:

http://domain/fun_runs_individual.php?date=2005-01-01&name=F intry%202005

Then on the next page you'll have $_GET['date'] and $_GET['name'].
