Re: Question about an array

If you're going to build your array that way, then you need to loop through $sometext[0], not $sometext. You're creating an array in the first element of the $sometext array, so $sometext element zero is an array containing your exploded words. Instead, try: $sometext = explode(" ", "your long string"); -- Matt Grimm Web Developer The Health TV Channel, Inc.
