"Please enter guests name"

Usually it's best to store the first name and last name as separate fields.

they will be stored as seperate fields as I will split the input. hence
the comma. But thanks anyway!

How will your code split these two names (both are friends of mine)?

No comment other than snide remark I decided to cancel and
I hit the send button by mistake.

I'd be interested in your remark (snide or otherwise)... did my posting not
point out a problem with the OP's approach (and which, in its own way,
backed up your suggestion that the OP should consider putting the names in
separate fields)?

Nope you are absolutely correct! My comment would have been about the OP
already having his mind made up. Your comment was much more useful since
it gave an example of the problems the OP would face with his method.
