Names

[glade]

Can anyone tell me how to extract the first, middle, and last name?

Let's say I have the name: John Doe
I need it to recognize that "John" is the first name and that "Doe" is the last.

Similary, let's say I have the name: John Roc Doe. I need it to recognize that "John" is the first name, "Roc" is the middle, and "Doe" is the last.

If anyone knows, please tell me. Thanks!

You will need explode():

list($a,$b,$c) = split(" ", $name);
if(!$c){
print "First - $a<br>";
print "Last - $b<br>";
} else {
print "First - $a<br>";
print "Middle - $b<br>";
print "Last - $c<br>";
}

Real simple:
$name = Josephine Wolfgang Andreaclause
$name_array = explode ('.', $name);
print $name_array[0];
print $name_array[1];
print $name_array[2];
