Don't worry about "Pointed Head"'s comments.  Erwin has an excellent
suggestion for you.  The only other suggestion I would make is related
to J.O.'s suggestion - since you already have a unique id which doesn't
contain spaces, you could use that as an anchor instead of the row name,
i.e.

  <li class=\"reader\"> <a href = \"#".#row['id'])."\">" . $row['name']
. "</a></li>

This would provide an id of 'i123456' or similar without having to worry
about spaces and special characters.

And don't worry about "Pointed Head".  He's a well-known troll who
doesn't understand even the simple concepts of programming, and has to
repeatedly prove his ignorance.
