debatable ... no bog deal either way ... $value = split('/\w/', trim($value)); $value = strtolower($value[0]); ... saves a var, no?

Yeah, but not as readable. $value is first a string, then an array, then a string again. At one point it contains the whole value, then the string split into words, then the first word in lowercase. The simple name 'value' doesn't really explain what it's standing for in all those situations. But yeah, no big deal either way. -- Jasper Bryant-Greene Freelance web developer http://jasper.bryant-greene.name/
