Chaching ( sound of light bulb turning on) I see that in the example in the manual it needs to be compared to true ( a boolean value) switch (true) rather than switch ($line) What is not apparent to me is why the first case matches if the preg fails. Wouldn't line evaluate to true in a boolean context? Bret -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
