Sliders won't pull from Categories with space in a name please help

  • This might sound confusing but..
    I have several different sliders that all work and pull correctly if the category name is one word, example: “Featured”. But if I name a category two words such as: “Another Featured” they all stop working. I have even made sure the slug is all one word, example: “anotherfeatured”. I have checked all my scripts and it seems to be the way I might have coded the category parameters. Would someone be willing to look at my code at:

    pastebin.com/vDc7ekcZ

    and see where I am going wrong? I have tried using the slug in the code but it did’nt seem to work. There has to be a way? Or am I stuck with using one word titled categories?

    Is there anyway with my above code that someone could see me using the category nicename to pull from? My syntax is not great if anyone could lend a helping eye.

    I think I have narrowed it down to adding a function to handle the special characters in a category name, such as white space, “&”, “*” etc.
    but still getting errors with category names with more than one word.
    Anyone?

    $mx_categories_obj = get_categories('hide_empty=0');
$mx_categories = array();
foreach ($mx_categories_obj as $mx_cat) {
	$mx_categories[$mx_cat->cat_ID] = $mx_cat->cat_name;
}
