Product name in URL

Question

Hello,
Because google also takes into account if the product name is
in the url when determining the page's relevance I whish to do so.
So, besides the productID I wish to add the product name in
the URL. But how to do this? Now it looks like this:
"mypage.com/Detailpagina.php?ProductID=E20385" and I whish to
make it something like this:
"mypage.com/Detailpagina.php?ProductID=E20385?Product=Product_name_1".
But how do I get it there and how do i change spaces into _ or - ?
Also, some names have special characters like ' é ä and
so on. Wont this go wrong when putting it in the URL?
Thanks.

Answer 1

I can't see how it would.
