How about num_times_char_is_in_string()? :) I'm still rooting for str_chr_freq(), or even just chr_freq(). I realize that etyomologists may cringe at the inexact use of "frequency", but "char_occurence" and "char_tally" look or sound funny, and and agree with Andi that "*_count" is kina ambiguous. How about str_matches() or chr_matches() ? __________________________________________________________________ Colin Viebrock easyDNS Technologies control your domain http://www.easyDNS.com
