Spacing and/or control (unprintable) characters could easily be messing you up. Use something like: $l = strlen($input); for ($i = 0; $i < $l; $i++){ echo "$i: $input[$i] (", ord($input[$i]), ")<br />\n"; } to see what you're getting.

Richard: As usual, you are exactly right. I found that somehow a gremlin had crept in -- I still don't understand how, but it did. So, I stepped through the string similar to what you did and replaced everything that wasn't supposed to be there. Interesting that making a text file with the string and looking at it via a Hex Editor, I found that the gremlin was a 0A (new line), but when it was on the server, it was two characters ("High" ASCII 194/160) -- very strange. In any event, I fixed it. I didn't have the time to run down why. Thanks, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
