Of course it does. You're asking the script: "for each element in the array $AWKED, print out the value of the element and "@blah.org." The array $AWKED contains two elements: 0 = user name 1 = domain name If you just want to print out the first element in the array, do exactly what you said only two lines earlier: print ("$AWKED[0]@foo.com\n"); If you want to loop through each email address submitted, you need to loop through the appropriate array. For example: <?php $users[] = "username@domain.dom"; $users[] = "username@domain2.dom"; while ( list(,$Val) = each($users) ) { $AWKED = explode("@", $Val); echo "$AWKED[0]@foo.org\n"; } ?> Enjoy, --Dan -- PHP scripts that make your job easier http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/ SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Ave, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
