regarding that "n/a" stuff, and that with the zerofilled fields, i think that: when comparing integers with integers, the behaviour is clear. when comparing integers and strings, the string is cast to an integer. but when comparing strings with other strings, a string comparison is used. (strings are ordered like in a dictionary) eg: "a"<"b" "aaa"<"aab" "aa"<"b" this explains why "5"<"n/a" (ascii value of "5" is lower than that of "n") and why "50"<"8" (ascii of "5" vs. "8") ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.max.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40529 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40529&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40529&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
