Here is the code:
//Handle the form
require_once (".//../mysql_connect.php"); //Connect to the db
//Check for the first name
if (eregi('^[:alpha:]'. "{2,15}$", stripslashes(trim("$_POST['first_name']")))); {
$fn = escape_data("$_POST['last_name']");
} else {
$fn = FALSE;
echo "<p><font color = "red" size = "+1">Please enter your last name!</font></p>";
}

Here is the code: $fn = escape_data"($_POST[last_name])";

Take care,
Lori :D

take the semicolon ( ; ) out after the ))))
hence proper code:
if (eregi('^[:alpha:]'. "{2,15}$", stripslashes(trim("$_POST['first_name']")))) {

cheers

It didn't matter with or without ;.

Take care,
Lori :D
