I'm converting upper case characters in a string to lower case and am coming up with an empty string. As I've done a million times before with other non-numerical strings. $thisStr = "CL22"; $strLow = strtolower($thisStr); echo $thisStr; Why does $strLow come up empty?

Because you're echoing out the original (uppercase) string. Try: echo $strLow; //in my best yoda voice//

Last time I looked strtolower() did not modify the input as a reference. So echo $thisStr; should result in the op seeing CL22 Unless there are other things happening that only the force knows about... -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
