[Rails] Login form question

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username
and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password.

I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the
parameter list.  Can anyone offer up a suggestion.
The book shows the method starting like:

if request.post?
user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,
params[:username]])

So here is my attempt but with some obvious mistakes:
def login
    if request.post?
      user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name =
?'',
                                               ''last_name =
?'', params
[:first_name],
                                               [last_name]

.....
end

TIA

[Rails] Re: Login form question

I''m now getting a wrong number of arguments (2 for 1).
Again, the user should sign on with first name , last name, password

  def login
    if request.post?
      user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name =
?'',
''last_name = ?'',
      params[:first_name, :last_name]])
      if user.blank? ||
        Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(params[:password] + user.password_salt) !      
user.password_hash
      raise "First name, Last name, or password invalid"
      end
      session[:user] = user.id
      redirect_to :action => session[:intended_action],
                  :controller => session[:intended_controller]
      end
  end

[Rails] Re: Login form question

Actually I should ask another question, in the recipes book the login
form is built with
start_form_tag, so:
<%= start_form_tag :action => "signin" %>
<label for="username" >Username:</label>
<%= text_field_tag "username" %><br />
<label for="password" >Password:</label>
<%= password_field_tag "password" %><br />
<%= submit_tag "Sign in" %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

I am using a regular form tag , wondering if that would make a
different how the post is handled?
Here is the way I constructed the form:

<form action="login" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Log in to your account
</legend>
    <label for="firt_name" >First name:</label>
    <%= text_field "user", "first_name" %>

    <label for="last_name" >Last name:</label>
    <%= text_field "user", "last_name" %>

    <label for="password" >Password:</label>
    <%= password_field "user", "password" %>

    <input type="Submit" value="Login" %>
    </form>
</fieldset>

[Rails] Re: Login form question

I guess it does make a difference because with start_form_tag the form works. :)
