Help me learn my Full Name

I have a basic table with 3 main columns - FirstName, LastName, and FullName. While filling out the registration form, the user is asked for their first and last names. Once the form is being processed (back to itself) I'd like the FullName column to be filled (FirstName+LastName) in the FullName column of the database.

Thanks to those who tried to help with this problem. This is how I finally solved it:

$FullName = $_POST['FirstName']." ".$_POST['LastName'];

I hope this answer can help others having this problem

PHP:
$fullName = $firstName . ' ' . $lastName;

I want to send the data to the database. The user will enter their FirstName and LastName and, upon submission, add their FullName (FirstName+LastName) into the 'FullName' column.
No redundant data should be stored in a database. First and last names should be stored in separate fields, The full name can then be queried at any time, e.g. via an SQL statement. A database field always contains exactly one unique piece of information.
And of course a unique key for each dataset in the table if users might have the same names.
That is my understanding.
