> <a href="catalog.php?cat= <?php echo strtolower($item["category"]); ?>" >
Notice that you have a space right after the = sign but before you echo the category. I think that is what is putting the space in the link and then the browser is url encoding that space to %20 when it displays it in the address bar.
Let me know if that doesn't resolve your issue.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi coskun,
%20is the url encoding for the space character. So your code is likely inserting a space.If you can post the code that pertains to this issue, then we can try to help you figure out what the issue might be.
