I found this very helpful to search without worrying about case sensitivity. //----- // Convert $string_a to lower case & store in another variable $string_b = strtolower($string_a ); // Find the string, case insensitive $result = strpos("$string_b", "$search_term"); if ($result !== false) { // this echoes your string in its original form echo "$string_a". " was found"; //-----that's it! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34744 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34744&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34744&report=yes
