My apologies. Sometimes, I get all excited and don't pay attention. I'll

Well,
echo $first_nameIN, " ", $last_nameIN;
Prints out the whole name - without the if clause; and I've tried
several variations of ifs - none work.
Maybe there is something I don't understand about 'first_nameIN' and
$first_nameIN
but $first_nameIN = $_POST["first_nameIN"];
has been declared beforehand.
