Adding to remote DB

I'm trying to add data to a remote MySQL database and it works perfect until I add a SPACE to my text fill in order to write the second word. Can someone help me out with this? Here's the code 

- (IBAction)add:(id)sender {
    NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://pruebapestana.comoj.com/juancho4.php?name=%@&last=%@&age=%@",_name.text, _last.text, _age.text];

Spaces are not valid characters in a URL. You need to properly escape them so they become %20. The best way to do this is to use the NSString method stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:.

NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://pruebapestana.comoj.com/juancho4.php?name=%@&last=%@&age=%@",
    [_name.text stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding], 
    [_last.text stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding], 
    [_age.text stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

This will properly escape any other special values in addition to the spaces.
