Now, THAT'S an interesting idea. In my scripts, I'm doing a lookup on a text file to find some information related to the ISO codes. I store the codes and related info in a CSV (comma separated values) file. Then, I loop through the file with fgetcsv(). If a match happens, I store the related info and break out of the loop. So, if in the lookup doesn't find a match, I know the code is invalid. Enjoy, --Dan -- 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 More than just answers. Solutions.
