Ave, Yes well, I did kind of figure out that I have to scan through contents of a directory, pull up a file list, and then do some kind of pattern matching to narrow down to the files I need. But at this moment I'm kinda struggling with the directory & file functions - haven't really dwelled into those deeply before. Good place to start:

But yes, your suggestions seem more then likely what I'll be hitting at some stage. Thanks. On 3/29/07 3:22 PM, "Brad Bonkoski" <bbonkoski@mediaguide.com> wrote:

I'm sure there are many options... I'm also assuming you are pulling from a file system and not a database... So, loop through the directory and do something like this: $phone_num = XXX $cur_file = xxx if( strncmp($phone_num, $cur_file, strlen($phone_num)) == 0 )

    //Matches

else

    //No Match
