Re: comparison operators

Hi: For compare strings you can use strcmp. $st1 = "hi"; $st2 = "bye"; if (strcmp($st1, $st2)) { echo "are different"; } else { echo "are equal"; } The strcmp return 0 when the strings are equal. If the strings are diferent, return the pos of the char where begin the diference. I think you can use this without problems. ******************** I can see that you upload files. My problem it's that i can do it. Y use the form like this. <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="subirfichero.php" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000">Send this file: <input name="dd" type="file"> <input type="submit" value="Send File"> </form> My problem is that i don't know how to do the php program that i upload the file.
