Re: Upper or Lower Case

Also keep in mind that sometimes spaces find their ways into the string and using trim() will get rid of them. Something like : if (strcasecmp('neo',trim($name)) == 0) { echo 'You chose our Neo line of goods, way to go!'; } Not to say spaces randomly attach to strings :-) but to be safe, I'm usually a trim freak. I Love to trim!
