Firstly, the 'users' command at my box returns a string and not different lines. This means that $usr in your function should not be an array but a string. So perhaps something like this would work better: <?php function dispUsr() { exec("users", $usr); $usr = explode(" ", $usr); if (in_array("ben", $usr)) { echo "<a href='http://www.somesite.org'>Ben</a>"; } else if (in_array("dover", $usr)) { echo "<a href='http://www.blah.net'>Dover</a>"; } else { echo "none"; } } ?> -- Øyvind Grønnesby "Wow, I had knowledge!" --Buffy
