Hello,
First.. I have nothing to say right now about PHP programming... except I am learning it and like what I have learned so far.(background in several languages).
Second... I just did a little query of my mail and found that out of 165 messages received to day on this list alone, 41 of them were in regards to 'stop neurotic posting'.
While I agree that more people should _try_ to read the manual and find other sources _as well as_ this list, I too get annoyed at all the simple requests. I am sure that at some point I will post a message out here that is either not properly formed or I have a brain phade and cant find what I am looking for.

The function you're looking for is called preg_match. http://php.net/preg_match"I fail to see the difference. Me too. Besides, both answers are wrong. You should use strpos(). ---John Holmes...
