I have been trying to get the following code working. I keep getting an error on line nine. It looks simular to the example in the PHP online manual. If I substitute a print command for line nine I get the correct information from $_POST[username]. I must be missing or have an extra a quote but I cannot figure out where. <?php //check for required fields from the form if ((!$_POST[username]) || (!$_POST[password])) { header("Location: memberlogin15.7.php"); exit; } if(preg_match("/[A-Z]/", substr("$_POST[username]", 0, 1))) { name($fname, $lname) = split('[/\s+/]', "$_POST[username]"); //echo "First Name: $fname; Last Name: $lname\n; echo "first letter is uppercase"; } else { echo "first letter is not uppercase"; } Any help will be appreciated. -- Russ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
