Please enclose your posted code in [code] tags (See How to Ask a Question).

This makes it easier for our Experts to read and understand it. Failing to do so creates extra work for the moderators, thus wasting resources, otherwise available to answer the members' questions.

Please use [code] tags in future.

What do you mean by ...'not work properly...'. Does it return an error? Does it not execute? Only thing I can see is that the first_name is not enclosed within quotation marks.
