Hi Konstantin,
Thanks for the feedback. Right, So many cases to handle in there. I
will also add minimum 2 characters to the list.
Thanks,
Yogesh

be careful. don't just check if the field is NON empty.
that's not good enough.
in English, you can reasonably assume the following to be true
about names:
- must contain at least 1 letter [A-Za-z]
- may contain ' (apostrephe) and - (dash) and (space)
- shouldn't be longer than 40 characters.
- should not contain #s, or any other symbol, especially <
(so ppl don't start entering html codes, js, etc)

Hello,
This is my first post to this NYPHP mailing list. So hello to everyone
and thanks for the thorough discussions which help a beginner developer
like me.
Welcome, was the same with me, except that I never really left beginner
stage.

be nice
to have have inbuilt function for such commonly used field
types. I will like to know how people tackle these issue.
Thanks.
The only thing I would check is that the fields are not empty. The
maximum length is set via the maxlength parameter in HTML and
everything else qualifies as a valid name. I don't think you can
reasonably script validation to make sure that the first name entered
is "Dirk" and not "Dork".
