for the table name you mean like this?

$table_name =" 'Contact List' ";

No, backticks. I gave an example of the backtick in my email (in brackets). It is on the same key as the tilde, and looks like this: `

Also, I would probably left $table_name as it was and put the backticks in the SQL statement, like this:

$sql = "INSERT INTO `$table_name` values ('', '$_POST[f_name]', [...]

hope this helps...

<?

//check for required form variables
if ((!$_POST[f_name]) || (!$_POST[l_name])) {
Unrelated, but you should have quotes here. Like $_POST['f_name']

	header("Location:http://www.inspired-evolution.com/show_addcontact.php";);

There should also probably be a space between the : and the start of the
  URL here.

	exit;
}else {
	//if form variables are present,start a session
	session_start();
}

//check for validity of user
if ($_SESSION[valid] != "yes") {
Again, quotes on the array subscript.

	header("Location:http://www.inspired-evolution.com/contact_menu.php";);
And space between colon and URL here.

	exit;
}

//set up table and database names
$db_name ="bruceg_contactlist";
$table_name ="Contact List";

//connect to server and select database
$connection =
@mysql_connect("69.90.6.198","database_username","password")
or die(mysql_error());
$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name,$connection) or die(mysql_error());

//build and issue query
$sql = "INSERT INTO $table_name values ('', '$_POST[f_name]',
You'll be wanting to put backticks (`) around the table name, because it
contains a space.
