Also keep in mind that sometimes spaces find their ways into the string
and using trim() will get rid of them. Something like :
if (strcasecmp('neo',trim($name)) == 0) {
echo 'You chose our Neo line of goods, way to go!';
}
Not to say spaces randomly attach to strings :-) but to be safe, I'm
usually a trim freak. I Love to trim!

Philip
