Gufran, In that case you were close. This will work: $length = scalar( split( //, $number[$i] ) ); Since split() returns an array, and any array passed to scalar() returns it's length, this should be what you want. -------------------------- David Olbersen iGuard Engineer 11415 West Bernardo Court San Diego, CA 92127 1-858-676-2277 x2152 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
