I guess you are trying to create an array by the name 'name' and assign two
elements to it by calling name($fname, $lname). Am I correct?

I think it does not work that way. Try list($fname, $lname) = ......
Then the variable $fname and $lname will contain the first and last names.

list($fname, $lname) = split('[/\s+/]', "$_POST[username]");

Cheers,

Prathap
